It had taken her days to work up the courage to ask, and now that anxious tension was back. But there was something else hovering just below the surface, a feeling she couldn't quite give name to but vaguely recalled experiencing in the past. It was a feeling she felt best left ignored.
She had taken great care in preparing for the evening, deciding on a dish (shepherd's pie), making the dreaded trip to the store. She'd even carefully selected a bottle of wine to go with their meal. It had been some time since she had cooked for someone other than herself, and she wanted to make certain it was done properly.
Her timing turned out to be better than she remembered, and she was setting out the plates just before seven.
