Eventually, nighttime fell, and the couple had to get dinner and go home.

"So, you don't mind if we go here, right? It's cool enough for you?" Adrian asked, pausing on the sidewalk of a bustling road and giving her a sideways glance.

"Of course not! Everywhere is cool! Besides, I've heard that it has great food!" Cassidy chirped with an ecstatic smile.

They resumed their walk until she noticed the end of his feet brushing the concrete. Confused, she turned to her blushing husband. With his eyes adverted to the ground, he slowly raised out his hand to her. He then shifted his gaze to her again - his bright blue orbs beaming.

"Will you hold my hand, Cassidy?" he asked, looking somewhat bashful.

She happily ran over to him and grabbed his hand, intertwining her fingers with his. He smiles and pulls her closer. She feels his warm breath against her neck, making her shiver a little.

"Are you cold?" Adrian questioned, leaning into Cassidy's dainty frame.

She blinks and looks up at him. He, in turn, wraps his arm around her waist. They both now had a subtle blush going across their cheeks as they paused and held each other close – in public, they reminded themselves.

'You look so perfect,' was the thought simultaneously going through their heads at that moment.

They look into each other's eyes, and start to lean in - the stars hanging above them, the moon grinning. Just as his lips were about to graze her own, she smirks and pulls away.

"Ah, ah, ah! No kiss until after dinner! You already had enough of it earlier!" she squealed, pulling out of his grip and running to the restaurant down the paved street.

"No fair, Cassidy! I couldn't ever possibly get enough of you!" he screamed, chuckling and chasing after his playful wife nonetheless.

Soon, they both arrived in front of the restaurant. A little out of breath from all the running, they took a moment to pant while laughing. Adrian was the first to straighten his posture. Holding his hand out to Cassidy in a gentlemanly manner, he then cooed, "Would you go on a date with me, madam?"

Smiling, she stood back up and accepted his offer.

The couple walks into the restaurant hand in hand, catching attention right away. Not even a minute later, they were escorted to a nice table of two in the far corner. They ordered their food and began a conversation about random things.

"By the way, I've got something important to tell you," Adrian then said in all seriousness moments later, causing Cassidy to drop her smile and turn serious as well.

"What is it? Is something wrong-"

"You look very beautiful tonight. Have I already told you that?"

She blinks, dumbfounded. Then, she laughs out loud, feeling a bit stupid for falling for that.

"Adrian, you're such a dork!"

"What? It's true."

"Why do you have to say that so seriously, though?"

"Because I am indeed serious."

They talked, laughed, and flirted the whole dinner.

At some point, they noticed that the restaurant had a dance floor in the middle. It's complete with drooping rope lights that dangle from the ceiling like stars. The set has a vintage feel to it.

Adrian excused himself from the table, confusing Cassidy for a moment until she saw where he was headed.

'Oh, no.'

He was headed toward the jukebox in the corner of the dance floor, and as soon as he got to it, he began to shuffle through all the songs until his face lit up. Then, he slid a dollar into the machine before he returned to their seat. He kneeled down, making her blush.

People are starting to look at them again. She was sure she heard some of the ladies cooing and the men whistling.

"Would you do me a favor and dance with me, my fine wife?" he asked.

"B-But I can't dance that well. Y-You know that," she stuttered, suddenly feeling shy.

"No worries. I'll lead."

Not giving up, Adrian held out his hand again. Cassidy reacts flustered, no longer sure what to say, but eventually takes his hand.

They stood up, then.

With a smile, he leads her to the dance floor, and the song starts to play. She puts her arms around his neck while his are on her waist. They start to sway slowly to the beat of the music, but as the chorus came up, their dance gets more complicated.

Adrian is a great dancer, and with him leading Cassidy, she is able to keep up, giggling whenever he twirls her around.

"You're the most gorgeous woman in the world," he whispered in her ear, and she blushed and whispered back, "Only the best for the most wonderful man in the world."

She rests her head on his shoulder, sighing blissfully. That's when she noticed that he'd gotten a bit taller again. It's wild to think how he keeps on changing. As she glances down at herself, she realizes how much she has grown herself. Her red hair dye has begun to fade, only reaching the strands on the end at this point.

Moreover, unlike their past domestic life, there was not a day that it got boring inside their home. They would get into tickle wars, would randomly dance around the house, or would tease each other. They would watch movies or make food together.

Cassidy can no longer imagine her life without Adrian.

She wishes the song would last forever, but unfortunately, the music soon comes to a close. The restaurant went into a full chorus of claps, then – everyone there had been watching them as they danced, apparently.

Adrian blushed a little but bowed nonetheless, and Cassidy curtsied.

"You are the cutest couple ever!" a random shout suddenly burst out from a group of teenagers along with a boisterous round of giggles.

Adrian grinned at that. He then scooped Cassidy up bridal style and shouted back, "Because I have the cutest girl ever!"

With that, he around spun around while they laughed. He set her down as soon as they returned to their table. Once her feet touched the floor, she reached up to him and kissed his cheek.

They later paid the bill and walked outside.

"You must be cold!" Adrian said immediately, removing his jacket.

"Oh, no, no! You must be cold as well!" Cassidy pointed out, but he refused and still put the jacket around her.

Left with no choice, she accepted it and buried herself in its warmth. They walked back to his car and climbed on before driving back home.

They reached their house soon enough, and they began walking up the stairs to their front door, tired and ready to get some sleep. Cassidy decided to kiss him at that moment, which only lasted for around five seconds. Still, it surprised Adrian enough.

He was about to say something when she took the words out of his mouth.

"I love you!" Cassidy squealed before she tore open the door and ran inside.

"Hey! You're not being fair again!" Adrian yelled, chasing after her yet again.

Their laughter echoes all around their home. historical
