date night [[closed to john]]
This week, after the weekend the village had last week, has been a ball-buster. There's not a whole lot in the way of property damage, but people are coming in and making more statements, spooked by everything. And Erica can't blame them. Honestly, she's surprised more people aren't on edge more often for all the shit that goes on in this place.
As a result, she and John have both been busy, with not a whole lot of time alone together. He doesn't sleep over after Monday, but they're working so much, even if he did spend the night, once heads hit pillows, it's lights out. That isn't to say that she hasn't missed him, though, and when he asks her out on a date (all cute and endearing, honestly) after work on Friday, it's an easy yes.
After a shower, shave, and wardrobe change, she does her makeup and hair. Hair that's still white. For now. She'll dye it closer to the wedding, but for now it's down around her shoulders, slightly wavy. She picks out a black top, jeans, and a pair of heels, and when John picks her up, they leave quickly. Lingering and kissing after days of not seeing each other would lead to never getting out of the room. As they leave the hotel and walk down the street though, she does hold his hand and finally relaxes, glad to just be out.
"So. We could be adventurous and see what the restaurant will give us on this date," she suggests, trying to think of something for them to do.
