A Date As Promised
Alex had made a promise to Mel that once she was done with physical therapy he would take her out and now that the time was upon them, he would keep that promise. He left a note in her chambers to be ready to go out tonight. With Jordan's help he made reservations at a nearby restaurant and he purchased movie tickets ahead of time.

When it was close to the appointed time, Alex showered, shaved and put on his nicest clothes. He went to Mel's room and knocked on the door.

	"I hope not either, but something usually happens when someone says it's quiet." He grinned. "If something does happen, I'm telling everyone it's your fault," he teased. He squeezed her hand. "I know it's your favorite, which is why I picked it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Which means I can't hide from you no matter how small I become," he said as the taxi pulled up in front of the restaurant. "Don't move." He got out of the cab and hurried around to the other side to open her door for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
