Who: Carmine and Nana What: Their first meeting! When: Friday evening Where: A restaurant Status: In progress Rating: TBD
Carmine paced nervously in front of the diner. It wasn't that his bride-to-be was late, but he was feeling a little antsy. Originally he was going to wait for her inside at a table, but needed the extra fresh air. He told himself that this was the sort of thing he wanted, a family--a wife and child--and it just so happened that he was getting both at once, even if the child wasn't his biologically. It was still his responsibility. He could only hope that he was ready for the challenge, and that things would go over well between the two adults. He'd never met Nana before, and didn't know much about her, though from their brief online interaction she seemed nice--if a little upset. He didn't blame her; she was completely within her rights to be upset at the situation.
She had been married before. For better or for worse, she now had a baby--but not her first husband. He could only guess at what had happened with that, though he wasn't sure if he ought to bring that up on their first...date. It wasn't likely she had killed the man in his sleep, and beyond that, Carmine wasn't too concerned. Finally he forced himself to stop pacing. He took a deep, calming breath, and looked to see his future wife.
