“Well, I don’t know if that’s the only reason I befriended you…”

"I think it was a major one. I didn't have much of a sense of humor, after all." he replies.

“Oh, shut up. You have a fine sense of humor, love.”

"Sweetie, my sense of humor is broken. I laugh at people being dumb enough to be in the warpath of an angry horse." he snorts.

“Oh, I already know that.” She smiled. “So, where do you wanna go? What do you wanna do?”

"Fair, you do know that." he chuckles.

"Let's go get something to eat. I got off of work and got changed, and I am absolutely famished."

“Well then, you decide where we go to eat, alright?”

"I decided last time. You decide this time." he replies, shaking his head.

“There’s a nice restaurant down the road,” she suggested. “We could go there.”

"Sounds good." he smiles, taking the lead and stepping out of the park.

She walked along beside in silence for most of the way, deep in thought.

He looks over at his close friend and frowns slightlly.

"What's wrong?"

“It’s nothing.” She nudged him gently. “Really. I’m fine.”

He sighs.

"I've known you long enough to know when something's wrong. Your face is pinched. Something's wrong. I'll find out one way or the other, you know."

She snorted. “Is that a threat?”

His eyes sparkle playfully.

"I don't make threats, I make promises and keep them."

She raised an eyebrow. “Well, I’m not telling you,” she teased.

"Mmmm. . . I'll have it out of you before the night's over." he smiles.

She snorted. “Oh? And how will you do that?”

He smirks.

"I know you, you like your wines."

She let out a laugh. “Gosh, really? That’s how? You’re awful.”

He laughs.

"Hey, I'm not drugging it, I'm simply ordering you one of their best - and most intoxicating."

“I might just not drink it.” She smiled and laughed softly. “Besides, I’m scared of what I would do if I did.”

"You don't have that control around wine, I know that from experience." he teases.

"Oh, I can handle you tipsy or drunk."

She nudged him playfully. “I’m not sure you can.”
