Julianna was blushing when they chose a table and sat down. The suggestion that he’d murmured against her ear still rattling around in her head. Even after the encounters they had had together, he could still turn her face a noticeable mahogany. “Yeah, I know,” she replied smugly as he confirmed what she already knew. She only brought him to show off her favorite little deli, not to get his approval.
She listened to him speak, blinking at him curiously as she munched on fried pickles. Dipping them in tangy sauce and directing them into her mouth one by one. She’d had one elbow on the table and was leaning on it kind of casually until he referred to the previous night as drunk antics. She didn’t like the sound of that. Julianna sat up straighter and took her arm off the table; her hands disappeared into her lap. His words were a jarring reminder of what she had said to him. That he only liked her when he was drunk. She assumed he wasn’t drunk now, not that she could be sure. Julianna had seen enough high-functioning alcoholics that could make it through a day riding a well-maintained buzz. She stared back at Owen for a few silent seconds, studying his face.
“I already said I would.” She broke the silence before reaching for her own drink. “I believe I agreed to a ‘little black dress. Unless of course,” she eyed his tracksuit again. “That’s your idea of dressing up.” She joked as if this wasn’t the first time she’d seen him in something other than a tailored suit.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
