Emma had worn black the last time they had gone out and this time she wanted to wear something that popped. She was rooting through her closet, cursing all the black clothes that she had. She'd already done her hair and make-up and was standing in her closet basically in her underwear and a robe, trying to find a dress. Tim would be picking her up any moment - she just needed a dress.

It took a little time to find it, but there it was; her Slytherin green cocktain dress. Tim would appreciate the humor in that. She slid into the silky dress and was putting on a pair of earrings when there was a knock at the door. Opening the door, she smiled up at him. "Hi."

Tim was standing somewhat awkwardly at the door, holding a corsage in one hand. He'd broken out his suit, something he didn't do all that often, and the reservations had been made. It was going to be a lovely evening. He was nervous about it, actually, which surprised him.

After the knock, he stood and straightened his jacket, re-tucking his tail down his pant leg. A grin spread across his features when she answered. "Hi." He held out the flower. "This is for you. You look... amazing."

Emma broke out in a brighter smile when she saw the flower. "Thank you, it's beautiful," she said sincerely, as she opened the door to let him inside. Emma took the flower and slid it on her wrist. "Oh, it's so pretty."

She grabbed a black wool wrap to drape around her shoulders that dropped down over her dress. She had no idea where they were going, but if they were going somewhere in the muggle world, she couldn't wear a cloak. "So, where to?" she smiled up at him. Yeah, Emma couldn't stop smiling around him.

"Not as pretty as you are." Tim said. It was cheesy, he knew it. He grinned, leaned over, and tapped a kiss against her cheek.

"Well, there's a great dine and dance place near where my mother's parents used to live. I've been there a few times... I think you'll like it. We'll have to apparate to a quiet alley and walk a couple of blocks, though. It's in a muggle neighborhood."

She smiled, her cheeks pink when he kissed her. Emma couldn't help it - she was so smitten.

"That sounds perfect," Emma said, lifting her arm to loop through his. "I'll just stay close to you in the dark alley," she teased, staying close to his side so he could apparate them.

Once in the alley, Emma opened her eyes and glanced around. The air was cool, but he was warm next to her. "Lead the way?"

"Yes." Tim said. It always took him a brief moment to orient himself after apparating. He glanced around the alley, then led the way down it and out onto the street. It was rather busy for this time of year and night, and Tim broke into a grin. He had the prettiest girl on the street on his arm.

It was a two block walk to the restaurant, but Tim took it slowly so they could look in the windows of the shops they passed.

Emma wasn't about to complain as they strolled arm in arm down the street. She tugged lightly on his arm to slow him down past a shoe store. "They're so pretty," she sighed, looking at a pair of deep purple suede heels that would look great with... well, anything she wanted them to look great with.

"Please... pull me away... distract me... before I want to buy them," she grinned.

	"C'mon." Tim said, wrapping his arm around her shoulders to lead her away from the window. He was grinning, though. "We've got dancing to do." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Emma draped her arm around his waist, walking beside him toward the club. It wasn't loud, but it was crowded. Tim walked them right up to the front of the small crowd gathering at the door. "What kind of restaurant is this?" she asked curiously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's a Swing Club." Tim said, looking up at the sign on the building. "They have seating surrounding the dance floor, and a live brass band." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-10-30 10:59 am UTC (link)
	Panic nearly set in. She was hoping for something classical - she was a ballerina as a child, not... this. "OK... I don't know how to swing dance," she breathed, following him into the restaurant. Most of the dancers out on the main floor looked like they knew what they were doing. "Tim... do you know how to swing dance?" she asked, leaning close to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tim gave a little laugh and wrapped his arm around her as they walked to their table. "I do. I'll lead you. Don't worry." The hostess led them to their table. It was a booth in the back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Emma had that slight look of panic on her face as she continued to watch the dance floor while he lead them to their table. She smiled at the waitress and sat down, staring over at Tim. "Well, you can't say this won't be exciting," she smiled, "please don't judge me if I step on your toes..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-10-31 04:26 am UTC (link)
	Tim gave a laugh. "You're allowed to step on my whatever." He said, slipping into the booth opposite her. "The French Onion soup is amazing." He added, looking down at his menu. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-10-31 04:29 am UTC (link)
	"I'll take that into consideration," she said, peering down at the menu. It was certainly different from the last menu she'd perused while with him, but nonetheless good, she thought. "Mmmm, chicken parmesan," she decided, smiling over at him. "How was your week?" Emma asked him conversationally. "I didn't get a chance to see you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-10-31 04:37 am UTC (link)
	"Busy." Tim confessed. "Dealing with the aftermath of the explosion still, but it's good. We're getting a lot of stuff done." He lifted his water glass for a sip, then set his menu down. "How was yours?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I have no place to work, so I've been all over the hospital," she said. "A lot of my patients are in intensive care, so I've been there a lot, but I'm getting daily workouts from running all over the place, checkng on everyone," she smirked. "I'll have to check on you next week," Emma promised with a smile.

The waitress arrived to take their orders. Emma ordered the chicken and a glass of white wine.

"Please do." Tim said, giving her a little grin. He turned his attention to the waitress, who seemed rather keen on him. He ordered the french onion soup, and a side salad, and a second glass of wine, then turned his attention back to Emma.

The waitress seemed a little put out that he didn't give her more of his attention, but she went off to put in their orders and get their wine.

"It'd be nice to have a bit of a distraction."

Emma watched the waitress with cool eyes - she was practically fawning over Tim. OK, she didn't exactly have the right to be jealous, but she felt the pang for a moment. When he simply ordered then turned his attention back to her, Emma smiled, her eyes leaving the waitress to look back at him.

"Perhaps we could even get away from the hospital and do lunch one day. I'll kidnap you," she grinned.

	Tim only had eyes for Emma at the moment. Though, if Audrey was here, that'd be a completely different story. He broke into a grin at the idea of being kidnapped. "Is that a promise, or a threat?" He asked. Either way, he'd love it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-10-31 05:28 pm UTC (link)
	Emma had to laugh when she saw his smile. "Oh, that's a promise because I know you're going to like it," she laughed, sipping her water. There was a small crowd of people heading for the dance floor and she turned in the booth to watch them move. "That's amazing and so cool," she said as she watched them move to the swing music.

	"Now you're getting my hopes up." He said, still smirking. He watched her watch the dancers for a moment, then turned to look at them, too. "You'll pick it up quickly, I'm sure." He said, sitting up a little when the waitress brought out some salads. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-10-31 07:30 pm UTC (link)
	She thanked the waitress and laid the napkin across her lap. "Oh, I'll just stick close to you and enjoy myself," she smirked. A little bit of flirting never hurt anyone, Emma thought. Conversation passed nicely and dinner was brought out. "How and where did you learn how to swing dance?" she asked him, cutting into her chicken. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-10-31 07:36 pm UTC (link)
	"That's a long story." Tim said. "Well, not really long, but complicated. I ended up dating a muggle girl who brought me here a lot." He said, glancing around. "I doubt she comes here anymore, though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-10-31 07:48 pm UTC (link)
	Emma would have been offended that he brought her to a place a former girlfriend of his used to bring him, but she let it slide. Guys sometimes said things that they really shouldn't. She smiled a little, resisting the urge to roll her eyes. "So, you'll teach me, then?" she asked him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-10-31 07:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Of course." Tim said, nodding. It wasn't like they were boyfriend and girlfriend, really. That's where the complicated part came in. He didn't want to get into it, though. The girl was gone, and he was with Emma at the moment. She had his full attention. "It's not that difficult. Just follow my lead. Do you want to go now?" He asked. "Before dessert?"
