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.

	"Oh good, because as gorgeous as your eyes are, I've been having trouble taking my eyes off that skirt, and that's even having seen what's under it. You're going to be the center of attention all night." he replies with a grin, as they pull up to a semi-respectable looking diner. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique chuckles, waiting for him to offer her a hand out before taking his arm and properly sashaying her way in the most appropriate slightly-inappropriate way to complement the skirt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And offer an arm he does. Then opens the door to the diner, where a few people even stop to stare. He informs the waitress that, yes, there's two of them, and yes, the limo will be waiting there. It doesn't take long to get seated. "This place has the best bacon cheeseburger and poutine in the province." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, its really just that they got well known for it, but yeah..." he turns to the waitress as she approaches. "Two three-cheese bacon cheeseburgers, poutine with both. Coke for me." He glances at Vernique to see what she's drinking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Lemo --" and Vernique cuts herself off, looking to Jordan almost flustered for a moment. "Lemonade means here what it means in the States, not what it means in most of europe, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
