Raina looked over her shoulder, as they moved down the hall. Yep, gorgeous frowny face was in place, but this time it wasn’t aimed at her.

A knock sounded. It would be Emily. Raina headed to the door, opening it.

"Hey," Emily greeted. She smiled at Nolan. "Great shirt," she complimented.

Nolan grinned, pink touching his cheeks.

"Have fun tonight," Raina said teasingly.

Nolan frowned. "Behave yourself, Aelan."

Raina laughed, and followed her best friend out. "Call me after."

Emily of course gave Raina an interrogation on her way home. Raina didn't listen to or respond too much of it. She was too busy worrying over the rest of her day...and Nolan’s.

She prepared for Thanatos arrival...dressing prettily, but not too fancy, She didn't want him thinking he had an invitation. She knew, in Thanatos mind, everything was an invite, but she was determined to keep it on the friend level.

He was promptly on time. And he was dressed to the nines. He naturally looked dashing, and Raina could only roll her eyes.

"We are going to the DMV for goodness sake!" She looked down on her simple dress and sandals.

His green eyes crinkled in a smile. "Hello to you too. Are you ready for our date?"

She blushed. "Thank you for doing this." She closed her door behind her, and took his offered arm. "But this is not a date."

He grinned. "What is it then?"

She shrugged. "It’s dinner between friends of course."

"Hmmm," he growled.

"If you had other plans..."

"I did as a matter of fact. Gave them up for you." He opened the passenger door on his truck, and assisted her in.

Raina smiled sweetly when he got in. "Then why didn't you just go and meet her then?" As fast as they were out, Raina wanted to pull the words back in.

His green eyes narrowed. "How did you know...?”

Raina shrugged. She could play her mistake off. "I assume you had another girl in line..." She wanted to smile. Nolan would be proud.

He smirked. "Cute." He put the truck in reverse, and backed out of the drive.

Raina straightened the skirt of her dress, and stared out the window.

"You're a little dressed up for the DMV too," he pointed out gently.

Raina shrugged. "I...I just thought with dinner..."

"You wanted to look pretty for your date?" he finished for her.

Raina frowned at him. "Just drive," she growled.

He grinned. "Yes ma’am."

Raina was happy it was not busy when they arrived, and her renewal went quickly. They were soon back in the truck.

"Dinner," Raina blurted. "Let’s decide where to go."

He shrugged. "I made reservations."

She shook her head and leaned back. "I was thinking more like fast food, but if you insist!"

He chuckled and started the truck up. "You didn't get all dolled up to just go for fast food." His eyes looked her over with admiration. "And...You’re not getting rid of me that quickly."

The place he had chosen was quaint, small...too romantic...and from the look of the menu, too expensive.

"How did you get reservations so easily? We made plans a few hours ago!"

He sat across from her at the small intimate table.
