Date Night.
It was a lot like Mom and Dad's traditions, actually. Where Dad had used telegrams and faxes, she used e-mail. Vernique told Jordan that she'd be in the appropriate area that weekend and would like to have dinner, maybe some dancing.

	He responds as soon as he gets the e-mail, verifying that he would love to take her dancing, and just wonders if this is formal wear dancing or club dancing. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	She responds that she's bringing the right clothes for both, and will change there when they decide, so he should consider his recommendation. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That comes with an invitation, of course, to help him get dressed, or make the need for changing more entertaining... and then agrees to the terms, promising to have suitable reservations made, and a car waiting for her at the airport. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This being quite satisfactory, Vernique and her very-efficinetly-packed suitcases willmeet that car and arrive at Jordan's when expected. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jordan works hard and plays hard. He's just wrapping up a last bit of new code when she shows up, and as per the e-mails, is dressed casually. They can get cleaned up and dressed for whatever is needed from that starting point. "Madamoiselle Denning, you're more lovely than I remember. Motherhood must suit you."

	She smiles. "Thank you. Solver's wonderful, though the little guy's a bit of a handful. But they're able to handle him without me for a weekend while I handle East Coast business." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, just the people handling a few things for the new scent line can't stay on their toes all by themselves. Or, if you mean Solver, well..." She laughs.

"Flatter sir, will get you...well, we'll see." She smiles.

After sitting, legs crossed, lips pursed, and thinking for a minute, she says, "I'll admit. I've got a bit of an inclination to get some use out of The Boots."

And Vernique removes from the front of her suitcase some rather nice knee-high, very supple dark leather boots. They've a bit of a heel, but stable enough for one to easily keep her feet.

	The comment gets a grin. The boots get a... stare. Wow. "I'm of an inclination to get some use out of them." he agrees. "Especially if there's a slightly scandalously short skirt to go with them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll let the expert decide." he agrees, moving to open up his closet, with its rather eclectic range, from suitable sportswear to suitable black tie affair wear. "Shall I prepare your mannikin?" he asks, hands on the edge of his shirt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Shyness is not one of his failings. His shirt comes off, the rest follows, with just a touch of flexing for her benefit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There might be a little 'MmHmm' noise a la Liza Minelli in Cabaret as Vernique watches that. She lets her eyes linger, staring examiningly, before glancing at some of the clothes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's perfectly willing to let her stare, letting her do so as long as she likes. When her attention turns to the clothes, he moves up behind her to wait for her to make her selections. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vernique looks through the closet until she finds a soft, white old dress-shirtish shirt that is just a little short in the arms for Jordan now. Then she started rolling the sleeve back and folding, studying it, studying Jordan, smiling, and laying the shirt out before looking in another part of the closet.

"To match what I've brought -- well not match, if it truly matched, we might look like we were going to a fetish party or something, and that's not what I'm going for. Restarting: to pair properly with what I've brought, I think a certain... Impeccable slovenliness will do nicely." And she lays out a comfortable pair of pants that allows for movement, and goes to get out her own outfit.

	He nods, following her train of thought. "So we're saving the fetishes for later tonight?" he teases, before sitting down on the bed to watch her work. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique chuckles. "Precisely," she says as she takes out out the dark leather skirt, just on the inappropriate side, and the midriff-bearing haltertop shirt. She compares his shirt to hers, then sits his shirt across his body and nods approvingly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods, eyeing her choices. "I'm liking the way you're thinking. So, pretty sure anywhere we can get into for dinner with these on isn't going to require reservations. What're you in the mood for?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
