Cambridge, Massachusetts | May 11
John and Aeryn were going out on a date. It had taken a lot of convincing and a hugely complicated interrogation process for the babysitter they'd eventually chosen for Talyn but for the first time in what felt like forever, John and Aeryn, husband and wife, were actually going out on a date.
Sure, it was just to get a quick bite to eat and maybe to see a movie (Aeryn wasn't going to be giving into nights at hotels that quick) but John was taking what he could get. Talyn hadn't been crying when they'd left and Aeryn had only made two calls home, getting good reports both times. She'd settled down at the night progressed and had even joined in when John had started a small food fight at the booth in the corner of the local burger joint.
Now, if they could just avoid frantic calls about Talyn falling and hurting himself or the apartment burning to the ground, John was going to consider this a success. And if it was a success, that meant they could do it again and if they could do it again, John thought they'd both be happy.
Dates were fun.
[NFB, NFI but OOC is okay!]
