A Date As Promised
Alex had made a promise to Mel that once she was done with physical therapy he would take her out and now that the time was upon them, he would keep that promise. He left a note in her chambers to be ready to go out tonight. With Jordan's help he made reservations at a nearby restaurant and he purchased movie tickets ahead of time.

When it was close to the appointed time, Alex showered, shaved and put on his nicest clothes. He went to Mel's room and knocked on the door.

	Mel's burgundy herself now. Suddenly... "You know what's great about fondue? So much variety in options for something that's still so simple." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2011-04-18 06:16 pm UTC (link)

	purplegeist 2011-04-18 06:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, that's so sweet. But I'm kind of scared of my dad's hometown. Things got so bad for him there, and... I'm a lot more obvious." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2011-04-20 03:39 am UTC (link)
	"That's sweet, and maybe eventually, but for now, between your offers and all of Jordan's gifts, I've had enough travel for a while." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2011-04-20 03:56 am UTC (link)
	"Okay," Alex said. "We can go when you're ready and when you want. I don't want to pressure you into anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2011-04-20 04:12 am UTC (link)
	"I know, Alex," she says with a smile. "Maybe we can go next year around this time of year. See the fountains decorated for Easter.. did you know that in Switzerland they have the Easter Cuckoo?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I didn't," he said. "That's kind of neat." The waiter brought them the food and the fondue pot. He ignited the burner and placed it underneath the pot. "Enjoy," he said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2011-04-20 04:29 am UTC (link)
	Mel gleefully nods, smiles, and gets down to eating. "You've got to admit, she's a more reasonable source of eggs than a bunny." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2011-04-20 05:11 am UTC (link)
	"Huh. Yeah. That would make more sense." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2011-04-20 05:12 am UTC (link)
	And Mel will be quite happy that the place has apples for fondue. She just nods with her mouth full. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex smiled and started eating his dinner. He was out, in human form, with Mel, eating good food, and they will go see a movie. It was a good night. (Reply to this)(Parent)
