Katherine nervously entered her house noting that although the porch light was still on most of the other lights in the house were off. She sighed unhappily as she walked up the stairs past Robin’s room. She paused only momentarily at the closed door. She wanted to check on Robin to at least make sure she was alright but knew that would be a mistake. It was better to just let it go until morning. She sighed again and then headed to her own room.
As Katherine layed in bed alone for the first time in close to three weeks she tried to think of a way to explain the Robin how she was feeling; how to make things right between them again. She tried to sleep but she missed the feeling of Robin in her arms. Every night they spent together they ended up sleeping the same way; her on her back with Robin’s head against her shoulder. The first night she had kept her arm stretched out but the second night together and every night after she had put her arm around Robin. Every morning they had woken up like that. It didn’t matter whose bed they had fallen asleep in. Sometimes they ended up in Robin’s bed, sometimes in hers. Every night they woke up tangled in each others arms.
Even when sleep did come it came fitfully and in Technicolor 1950 sitcom with her and Robin in starring roles. She dreamed of happily every after that only sitcoms could bring. Real life never worked that way, when real mistakes were made; things could never get fixed in just half an hour.
Katherine woke up earlier then she usually did and headed to the kitchen to make breakfast. She still had no idea what to say to Robin or how exactly one went about wooing but she was determined to do it. She just hoped that some of Robin’s anger had diminished and they could actually talk.
Katherine felt her heart beat at little faster as the younger woman walked into the kitchen. She felt like a schoolgirl on her first date but that was how she always felt around Robin. She was fifty four years old and felt like a teenager again. She didn’t want to lose that. She didn’t want to lose Robin.
“Morning.” Katherine said trying hard to not sound as nervous she felt, “I made breakfast.”
“This isn’t working.” Robin said simply standing by the entrance to the kitchen, “Us I mean. It isn’t working.”
“Robin...” Katherine tried to cut in.
“It’s partly my fault. Maybe I saw something that wasn’t there. Maybe I wanted something that you just can’t give me. I was wrong. I’ll move out before I leave for work.”
“Robin…” Katherine began again, “Don’t….I don’t want you to go. I think I figured out where we went wrong?”
“You mean besides the fact that you refuse to admit that we’re actually dating.”
“That’s just it, we’re not dating.” Katherine paused, “We’ve never been on an actual date. We’ve had sex..Lots of sex, but no date.”
“So what do you want to do then, go on a date?”
“Yes.”
“Where?”
Katherine paused for a moment and realized she hadn’t really thought the idea through all that much. Wooing Robin wasn’t going to be easy, even getting Robin to talk to her was sketchy. Now she had to come up with an actual date. Wooing someone wasn’t as easy at it looked.
“I haven’t actually thought this through.” Katherine smiled awkwardly.
Robin nodded, “But you want to right? Go on a date, you’re not just saying it.”
“No, I really do.” Katherine walked over to Robin who took a step back. Katherine paused again, “How about dinner. I could take you out to dinner.”
“OK.” Robin said simply, “Dinner.”
Katherine smiled happily and then finished making breakfast for Robin. She knew it wouldn’t be easy to fix what she had broken but she was determined to do it. Robin at least gave her an opening. Katherine wasn’t a fool; she knew that this was probably her last one. She had one last chance to fix things with Robin or she might just lose her forever and that was something Katherine wasn’t about to let happen.

“So how did Operation Woo Robin go?” Gabby smiled over her hand of cards.
The girls were in the middle of what Lynette was calling her last game of poker before she popped. Her baby was due in a matter of weeks and this might be the last chance the group would have to just hang for awhile.
“I’m taking her out to dinner tonight.” Katherine said trying not to sound awkward or to blush.
“Where are you taking her?” Susan asked.
“I don’t know. I haven’t really thought about it.”
“You can’t just plan these things last minute.” Bree said horrified and then pulled her cell phone out of her pocket and before anyone could say anything had someone named Stefan. “Yes, Stefan a friend of mine needs an emergency seating. Tonight….” Bree paused for a moment and looked at Katherine, “about eight o’clock. Good, Thank you Stefan, I owe you one. Yes the name is Mayfair she will be bringing a female friend of hers. Yes, that’s right. “Bree laughed, “I’ll tell him. Thank you.”
“Ok what just happened?” Gabby said almost in awe.
“I think Bree just planned Katherine’s date for her.” Lynette laughed, “So who is Stefan?”
Bree smiled, “He runs a small restaurant that Orson and I sometimes go to. It’s nice without being overly pretentious. Plus Stefan is a very nice man. “
“Thank you Bree.” Katherine smiled.
“You’re welcome.” Bree smiled back.
“So what are you going to wear?” Gabby asked.
Katherine just shook her head as she realized that this had stopped being a card game and had turned into an “interrogate Katherine” party. As much as it was embarrassing the hell out of her, Bree had just made things a lot simpler for her so she might as well use the day to her advantage. Maybe one of them could help her find the perfect outfit to get Robin to forgive her outright.
She knew it wouldn’t be that easy but she could always hope.
