“Damn, this place is nice.” I scanned the restaurants and spotted the white candles on every single tablecloth. Every waiter was dressed in formal wear, and a piano played in the background. Expensive bottles of wine were on most tables, and the women were wearing designer gowns.

Heath wore the blue collared shirt I got him with a black tie. Blue always looked good on him because of his unusually bright eyes. They held a lifetime of secrets, and that mystery constantly pulled me in. His blond hair was styled but still a little messy, just the way I liked it.

“What are you getting, babe?” he asked as he looked at the menu.

“I don’t know.” I hadn’t even looked. “No wonder this place is so hard to get into.”

“You like it?” he asked with a smile. It obvious he was happy that I was happy.

“It’s fancy.” I took a drink of the wine, which was the smoothest I’ve ever had. “What kind of wine is this?”

“Not sure. I asked the waiter for the recommendation.”

“Well, we need to start drinking it regularly.”

Heath chuckled. “I’ll drink to that.” He tapped his glass against mine before he took a drink.

I finished my glass and filled it again.

“You really should look at your menu. I’m surprised you aren’t starving since you didn’t eat anything all day.”

“Oh, I’m hungry.” I opened the hardback menu and scanned the selections. “The risotto steak sounds good.”

“It does,” he said. “But I think I’m getting the lobster.”

I wasn’t a big fan of seafood. “We can share and make it a surf and turf.”

“Excellent idea.” He closed his menu and blatantly stared at me.

The look wasn’t unsettling to me. I loved it when he looked at me like no one else was in the room.

“How was work?”

“Fine,” I said. “I’m getting faster at putting everything together.”

“I noticed you’re getting home at a reasonable hour.”

“It’s nice,” I said with a chuckle. “I definitely don’t want to be a workaholic. My dad always told me to never do that. You need to live your life for you, not work.”

“Wise man.”

When the waiter came over, Heath ordered for both of us. “I’ll have the lobster and he’ll have the risotto steak. Medium well, please.”

The waiter took our menus and walked away.

Heath and I didn’t play any specific role in our relationship. Sometimes he took the wheel and steered us where we needed to go, and sometimes I was in charge. Neither one of us were so aggressive that we felt uneasy not being in control, and I think that’s why our relationship worked so well.

“I like that shirt on you,” he said. “Your shoulders look nice.”

“Thanks.” I felt the heat flush through my body. “Your ass looks nice in those slacks.”

“I didn’t realize you snuck a peek.”

“I always sneak a peek.”

He finished his glass then poured another. “We’ve been together for a long time…”

“I know. It’s been, like, a year.”

“It’s been longer than that. I was in love with you the moment I laid eyes on you.
