Ching Tai, Tuesday evening

[willbethenight]

Bruce had been less than clear-headed when he made a follow-up date with Darcy on Valentine's Day. He was hoping she didn't read too much into that. Still, it meant it was a night for something at least slightly fancy. The Chinese place would do for that

Bruce had overestimated Darcy by a just a bit and this was a bit fancier than she had expected. But food was food, and male company was even better than that, so Darcy wasn't going to complain. She was going to walk over and join Bruce instead.

"So where are we on the drink buying equation?" Darcy asked instead of you know, hi.

"Drinks are fine, but they should probably stay on a certain safe part of the table," Bruce said. "You look great tonight."

Also not a hi, but Bruce was just getting running starts this week.

"Aw, I'm not allowed to make a fool of myself twice?" Darcy said and pouted. "And thanks, you clean up pretty good yourself." She may have tried for some sort of an accent there. Good luck guessing which.

"Well, if you really want to and then claim it's part of your charm, I can probably accept that," Bruce said.
