May 9: Been Too Damn Long

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 5:28 pm

Will ushered Sara into the fancy steakhouse, smiling. "It's been too long since we've done this."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 5:34 pm

"Much too long. But I guess we've been kind of busy." she smiles.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 5:41 pm

"Maybe just a liiiittle tiny bit," Will smiled. "You know how it is."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 5:52 pm

"Yeah, I was there." she chuckles as they walk to their table.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 6:01 pm

"Even before that, though, when was the last time we REALLY got out and had a good time? I mean, like on a real date?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 6:06 pm

"That's true. Just blame the comfy couch for that."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 6:08 pm

"And our general lazyness, I suppose.

No! Good to get out once in a while, let other people worry about the cooking and the cleaning."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 6:19 pm

"Can't stay holed up at our place all the time." she nods. "Guess it was just easy to find excuses to be lazy."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 6:20 pm

"Well not tonight! Tonight the city can watch out, for the Stantons are on the loose!"

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 6:25 pm

Sara snickers. "Watch out, you're gonna pull your 'going out' muscle."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 6:26 pm

"Which one is that, again?" Will smiled. "Yeah. Now that we are old and fuddy-duddy parents, we'll probably paint the town beige."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 6:34 pm

"I'm sure there's something between tearing up the night and boring old parents."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 6:36 pm

"And we'll have to go try and find it," he winked.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 3:06 am

"Shouldn't be too hard." she smiles as they sit down and, a moment later, are handed the menu.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 3:09 am

"Hrm...this being a steakhouse, I may need to get a steak," he nodded, seriously.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 3:16 am

"I think I'll just have a salad. You know, with a side of steak."

"So... you think Rick's doing alright?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 3:22 am

"I'm sure e's doing fine. He's responsible!

Besides, let's try NOT to worry," he smiled.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 3:25 am

"I'm sure he is. But you know me..." she smiles a bit crookedly.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 3:27 am

"I do! I know you very well! That is PROBABLY why I married you," he grinned, rubbing her foot with his.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 3:29 am

"Oh shush." she chuckles. "But then you also know it's totally your responsibility to make me stop worrying." she smiles.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 3:35 am

"I can do something like that," he nodded, as he wrapped his leg around Sara's foot, while studying the menu. "'Blue' steaks? No, cook mine, please, thank you."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 3:37 am

"Stop that!" she snickers quietly, though making no attempt to actually pull her foot away.

"And no respect for the local cuisine. Though blue steak is disgusting."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 3:39 am

"You said to keep your mind off it," he smiled, continuing to twist under the table.

"Medium rare. Only way to go, if you ask me."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 3:51 am

"Not like that." she whispers though she doesn't sound like she's too convinced of that herself.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 3:56 am

"Well, if you SAY so," Will winked, and retracted his legs.

Taking with them Sara's shoes.

"Yeah, a baked potato and a steak. That'll do me quite nicely."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:00 am

"Hey! Give those back!" she says quietly, trying to find and poke Will's legs with her feet. Which earns her a weird look from the waiter who had walked up to take their order and she blushes faintly.

"I, uhm, I'll have the steak in pepper sauce and the green salad. Medium rare."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:04 am

"The New York Strip, with the baked potato--butter only--and a bowl of the soup. Medium rare, all around.

And a bottle of a fine Red."

Sara was re-shodden....but while the shoes fit, they weren't the ones she was wearing.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:13 am

Sara, too curious not to, lifted up the table-cloth once the waiter was gone to look at her 'new' shoes.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:17 am

Sara WAS in fact wearing brand new shoes! White pumps, fairly fancy ones, at that.

Will was wearing her old ones.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:20 am

"Okay that looks a little silly right now." she snickers.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:24 am

"Well, I thought you'd like the white more than the lime green ones," Will said, intentionally misunderstanding her.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:31 am

"That certainly wouldn't ave fit the rest of my outfit at all, that's for sure." she chuckles.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:35 am

"Well, I could have replaced that, too, but that might stop being cute and start being cruel, in a restaurant like this, anyway," he winked.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:37 am

"Yeah, don't you even dare. Regardless of what restaurant." she chuckles but there's a tiny tiny bit of seriousness in it.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:39 am

"I AM very daring, but no, I'd never do anything QUITE that noticeable," he grinned.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:43 am

"Admit it, you would if you weren't worried I'd get angry about it." she teases.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:44 am

"I wouldn't take your top off, no, even if you wouldn't get angry," he grinned.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:54 am

"I'm just not going to ask why you're excluding that specifically and nothing else."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:57 am

"Well, why spoil future surprises, I suppose," Will laughed.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:58 am

"Oh you're horrible, you know that?" she laughs.
