Like I Love You

Bethany had reservations at a small French bistro in the theater district,someplace Dana would’ve never gone on her own simply because nothing on the menu was under thirty dollars.But it was Valentine’s,an evening to splurge,and the place was packed.When the server handed them menus,Bethany took Dana’s away and handed them back.“I’ll be ordering for the both of us,”she said with a smile.“I have something special planned.”
