A dinner date with Emily

You've prepared steak fajitas with the steak on the side. Molly doesn't eat meat, being a bee and all. The steak has been marinated with a mixture of Bachan's sauce and Molly's honey, giving it a sweet honey ginger flavor. You added a touch of cumin as well for additional flavor because cumin is awesome.

Before long, a knock on your apartment door. "Molly, can you check the door? If it's Emily, let her in." You say as you tend to your sizzling pot.

"Sure thing!" Molly says as she heads to the door and checks who's outside. Sure enough, it's Emily in a modest dress. Molly opens the door, "Hi Emily! You look great tonight!" Molly says as she shows Emily into the apartment before closing and locking the door.

"Hey Jack, Molly. Good to see you again, thanks for inviting me! I hardly ever have dinner dates, so I decided to dress up a bit." Emily says as she takes a seat at the table .

'Oh? You look great! You'd be a heck of a catch. I'm surprised you're not already married and have a few kids." You say as you bring the fajita ingredients to the table.

"Psssh, you flatter me. And kids? Nah. I'll pass. That's actually one of the reasons I'm not married.The guy wants kids, and I'm like, nah. Then they're out." Emily replies as you bring the tortilla shells to the table as well as the drinks.

"Yeah, after my wife took my son during the divorce, I know how you feel." You say as you bring a bottle of wine as you sit down, "Wine?" You ask, giving yourself and Molly a small pour.

"Sure, sounds good." Emily replies. You give her the same small pour as you gave yourself and Molly. "Keep this up buster and I might have to come over here more often."

Molly giggles, "I wouldn't my mind that, Miss Emily."

Emily makes herself a fajita and takes a bite. "Wow, this is fantastic, did you cook this, Molly?"

Molly shakes her head, "Nope, he did!"

"Well the way to this girl's heart is through her stomach, especially if you cook like this. Mmmm!" Emily says as she takes another bite. "Anyway, so what do you think about Mazl? You decide anything yet?" Emily asks.

"Yeah, with Molly's help. I'm going to see you at the AWIO complex tomorrow to sponsor her. I just don't know how I'm going to get the time off work to be with her and help her through her depression and other feelings."

"We can help with that. We'll supply you with an emergency leave that you can give your department, good for up to 12 weeks. Hopefully she'll come around before then. I have faith in both you and the bonding process. Come by tomorrow at 1pm, we'll have everything ready. You'd better come through with your word. Mazl's on her last legs. She can't handle another rejection. And neither can I." Emily says with a hungry look on her face.
