Authors Notes: This is the eleventh in a series of 17 small fics I wrote as an exercise. Each one is based on a song from the fanmix posted at
my journal.Just a warning, this part and a few of the parts left get a little fluffy.
They were on their first "date" since the SUV incident. Owen took Gwen to a tiny Italian restaurant on the far outskirts of the city. He'd worn a suit and used every bit he'd learned about chivalry from Diane. He held the door for Gwen, opened the car door for her, held out her chair.
At the end of the night, instead of taking her back to his flat, he dropped her off at her car, still parked in the Torchwood parking garage. Owen kissed her chastely and waited for Gwen to get in her car and start it up. He climbed back into his own car with a sigh. Lord, he was doing all he could to be a better man.
