Beth and Derek finished the bottle of Pinot just as the entrees were being served. Beth thought she probably had consumed two-thirds of it by herself, and she was feeling warm and fuzzy.
"Another bottle?"
"I shouldn't... I'm already feeling it. Don't want to get sick." She smiled. "It'd be such a waste of this delicious food."
"That's fair." Derek ordered himself a martini and Beth drank the ice water that had been provided as they devoured the sumptuous meal. Beth savored every morsel of the rich, indulgent meal.
"I should feel more guilty about this. I've been so good with my diet to fit into that damn dress."
"You deserve to cheat a little." Derek smiled. Beth stared at him for a moment, then chuckled to herself. {if Formation = 5

Dessert was as delicious as the rest, and after Derek signed the credit card receipt, they strolled out to the parking lot and chatted for a minute against Derek's car.
"I'm telling you-- law school." Derek was rubbing her {if MastrosAttire = 2}bare {endif

"It's so expensive, and so much hard work. I don't know if I could do it..." it was an old argument between them.
"You're a natural..." he pointed a finger at her "You know the law better than half the lawyers at the firm."
"Well... right now it's all about the wedding, but maybe when Brian makes partner...." She knew that Brian would want to start trying for a baby once he did. No time for law school, then.
"Typical. A real man would support his woman's dreams."
"Hey... It's not like I've ever even brought it up. It's your dream, not mine." She pushed gently on his chest to move him away. He had been getting a little too close{if Formation = 5

"Well, the world needs more smart, powerful... sexy women in it..." His gaze made her heart skip a beat. "So I guess it is my dream." Abruptly, he looked at his phone. "Hey, what time is limpd-- um, Brian getting home? Do you need to go?"
Beth looked at her own phone. It was only 7:40 pm. Brian probably won't be done by at least 10. "I've got time." She didn't bother to chastise him for his obvious jab.
"Want to go for a drive? Clear your head a little?"
