"Hi, love." God, he loved her. It was insane to think how quickly he had fallen for her, how much he wanted her. It had only been a few months and already Benjy knew he didn't know how to survive without her in his life. Penny and Newt were everything.
"Family recipe. I hope you like it." It did smell really good. Benjy was surprised by that. Even though he knew this was something he was capable og making, his nerves had gotten the best of him today and for a little while, he was sure he had failed at dinner.
What if she said no? What if Penny thought it was too soon, they didn't know each other well enough. What of she just didn't want to marry him? These were the thoughts that had made him believe he would fail at dinner.
"You didn't have to get me anything." But he put the bags down and off to the side for later. Taking Penny's hand, he entwined their fingers and led her towards the table which was all made up. "Have a seat and I'll have dinner ready in just a moment."
