Chapter Fourteen

Silver nervously tugged at the hem of her dress. The air tonight was sticky and hot, as it had been for the last several days. Silver was glad she had worn a light sundress, even though she had worried that it would be too chilly after dark. The sun had set over an hour ago, but Silver was still sweaty from the unusual early June heat wave sweeping across Chicago. She was walking along the lakefront path with Jack, one hand intertwined with his and one hand gripping the fabric of her sundress.

She wasn’t sure why, exactly, she was so nervous. True, this was a first date. But it was a first date with someone she had known pretty much her entire life. And the evening had gone better than she could have hoped for so far. They had enjoyed a lovely, romantic dinner by candlelight at a small, popular bistro named Ruxbin. Silver had never heard of the place, but Jack said it was one of his favorites. He told her they changed the menu seasonally, and he always thought the new menu couldn’t possibly be better than the last. But, somehow, it always was. Silver wasn’t sure she believed him, because the meal they’d had tonight had quite possibly been the best of her life. Maybe her judgment had been clouded by the fact that she was high on new love right now, but the carnitas, duck, and oyster had all been to die for. For dessert, Silver had indulged in the most delicious chocolate cake she’d ever tasted, topped with white chocolate mousse. It literally melted in your mouth. The place was BYOB, and Jack had brought two bottles of exquisite Cabernet Sauvignon. The two of them had polished off both bottles, leaving Silver full, buzzed, and happy.

The whole meal had been perfectly relaxed. They had told stories, talked, and laughed until Silver’s mouth had hurt from smiling. By all accounts, it had been a perfect first date. Silver couldn’t help but notice how much better the evening had been than any of her dates with Joe. True, Joe had been fun to hang out with when his parents weren’t around. But Silver hadn’t even realized until tonight how much of a spark had been missing from that relationship. There was definitely a spark between her and Jack. In fact, there was more than just one spark. It was like fireworks were going off in the room all night. Silver was head over heels for Jack, and he obviously felt the same way about her.

As if the night hadn’t been wonderful enough already, Jack had asked her if she wanted to go for a stroll by the lake to walk off some of the food they had eaten. Silver had gladly agreed. She needed time to let her food settle, and, besides, what could be more romantic than a moonlit stroll along the water? They had been walking for a long time now, and Silver’s dark, wavy curls had frizzed out quite a bit from the humidity.
