Stephen slid into the driver's seat and pulled away from the store. He was quiet as he drove.

"Am I getting the silent treatment now?" I asked him.

"That was just a lot of money, Claire. A lot of money." he said.

"I don't care about the money. You liked all the clothes, and I want you to feel good at work." I said.

"Fine. You bought the clothes, I'll buy lunch." he said.

"Ok, deal." I said with a chuckle.

He continued driving, and I wasn't sure where he was going. I really wanted to ask him, but I also had the feeling that I didn't have a choice in the matter.

I was confused as we pulled up to a hole in the wall Mexican place called Nora's. I didn't move from my seat. Stephen got out and walked around to my door, and opened it.

"Come on." He said, holding out his hand.

I looked at the front of the little restaurant, and back up at Stephen. I slowly took his hand and stepped out of the car.

"Hi Nora." he said bending down and hugging her.

"What do you want, baby?" She asked him.

"Six carnitas tacos and two raspberry mojitos." 

"I'll have it out in a minute, hon." The woman said.

"Where do you want to sit?" He asked me.

We were the only ones in the restaurant at the moment, so I just picked the table closest to us. We sat down, and placed my purse on the table.

"What did you order?" I asked him.

"Pork tacos. They're incredible." he said.

Just a minute later, Nora brought out a large plate with six tacos on it, along with two raspberry mojitos.
