Dinner had been amazing, the candlelight, the soft music, and the food. Oh the food was divine. But the best thing about the evening had been the company. Ran loved spending every moment she could with the Detective. Now, she sat across the table from him, chin in her hands and eyes transfixed on his own. His brown irises were so inviting in the glow of the candles. She was so happy he’d taken her to the restaurant. She didn’t have much chance to dine on Italian food and when she had, it wasn’t of the caliber this place had to offer.
They’d spent the better half of an hour enjoying pasta and conversation and when he ordered dessert, Ran knew better than to protest. She was interested as she’d never had Tiramisu before. She’d only heard about it.
When the waiter brought the plate over, Ran hadn’t even thought to ask why there was only one serving. It looked so delicious, the flaky layer upon layer tempting her with the aroma of coffee and cocoa. She took a deep breath. “It looks so good.” She commented, watching out of the corner of her eye as he raised a fork. Slicing a small piece off the side he held it up for her. Giggling, Ran opened her mouth and took a bite. The aroma was only half the experience as it almost melted on her tongue. She savored the taste before swallowing and taking the fork from him. Gingerly, she copied his motions and fed him a piece with a blush. She hoped the evening would never end.
