WINDMILLS
Courtney
grips Jason's hand firmly
as he helps her out of the car, but then she breaks away. "Would you please
tell me where we are?"
"You'll get to see in a sec," he
says, grinning to himself as he stares into the blindfold that is covering
her eyes.
"I could rip this thing off if I
wanted to," she announces. "And if it messes up my hair--"
"Your hair looks beautiful."
"Good," she says grumpily, although
it is apparent that she is enjoying the surprise.
He takes her by the hands and leads
her out of the parking lot and around the front of the restaurant. They
pause on the sidewalk.
"Are we there yet?"
"We just might be," he teases.
"I may have to bash you over the
head with my purse--"
"Fine, fine," Jason says. He reaches
up with delicate fingers and removes the blindfold. "Ta-da!"
It only takes an instant for Courtney
to recognize where they are. "Excellent choice," she says, draping one
arm over Jason's shoulders and the other across his front. "Although I
did kind of guess we might be coming here."
"The whole formal attire thing was
probably
a tipoff, huh?"
"Maybe," she shrugs. "Or maybe I
can just read your mind."
He raises an eyebrow. "Oh yeah? What
am I thinking right now?"
She taps a finger against her lips.
"Mmm ... probably how blessed you are to be out with such a breathtaking
creature as I. Actually, scratch that. Knowing you, you're already trying
to figure out what you wanna eat."
"You can read me like a book," he
smiles. "Now c'mon, let's get in there. We can't dilly-dally -- we have
other places to be tonight!"
She considers asking what those other
places are but figures it won't get her anywhere ... and besides, the surprise
thing is kind of fun. She leans in to kiss him, and then they link
arms and enter the restaurant.
