their date

Valerie looked at Leo as if he had suddenly grown two heads. If this was not the nonce than what else it was.

"You must be joking right?" she asked, already chuckling, thinking he would nod. But he just tilted his head and kept looking at her.

"What is there that sounds like a joke to you?" he finally asked because her laugh was making him irritated.

"This whole idea. How did you ever think that we could have a dinner peacefully without an argument much less a date," she replied shrugging her shoulders as if that was the most common thing to do.

"Why not we just try and see how it goes," he added looking at her but she just shook her head chuckling.

"Alright, if you are doing much against the idea then take it as a normal breakfast. Will you?" he asked and finally, she sighed.

"Alright, then let's start. Let's get over with it soon," she added walking towards the single table in the whole room.
