Chris and Henry were already waiting for the girls when they arrived. Nicole turned to Gia like a girl seeing under the Christmas tree first thing in the morning. "Gia! This is still real!" Nicole said, holding her hand over her heart and exaggerating her dramatic flare. Gia nodded. 

Henry caught Nicole's eye and bit the inside of his lip. Nicole felt the butterflies in her stomach and she sent a wink at her man. She made her way to the open seat next to Henry. Gia made a gagging noise behind Nicole.

Gia took a breath in as she made her way to the open chair besides Chris

Gia took a breath in as she made her way to the open chair besides Chris. He turned to look at her. Gia felt as through he could see into her soul, his eyes made her feel safe; nervous and excited at the same time. He smiled gently. Gia let out her breath and took a seat. "Hi" she said nervously. "Hello, Gia." Chris replied.

Plates and plates of Sushi came and left the table, the conversation never dulled

Plates and plates of Sushi came and left the table, the conversation never dulled. Throughout the night, Chris stole glances at Gia. She would catch his eye and he would turn away hiding a smile. Gia smiled and looked at her hands. "Uh, we are closing in 10 minutes." The waitress made the group aware. Henry leaned back in his chair and shifted his belt, "I am so full!" he said cheerfully. Nicole nodded, finishing off her last bite of Salmon. "Should we head somewhere else for drinks?" Gia asked. A part of her longed for the "Normal" of her apartment, while the other didn't want this day to end. "Actually..." Henry began, wiping his mouth off. "I have a surprise planned for Nicole." Nicole turned to Gia, widening her eyes. Chris bit back a laugh. Gia knew he knew what the surprise was. Gia would have to ask him later.
