"Mmm." Dani's cheeks gain a little rosy color as she sees Dalton had prepared things just for her tonight, even remembering the way she liked her sauce.
She giggles a little as he retrieves the vase. "I'm impressed you have a vase at all. A few months ago when Carson was still with me, I asked him if we had a vase and he grabbed an empty beer bottle. Said the green matched the flower stems." She rolls her eyes and sets about taking care of the flowers, having to stop once or twice to smell them again.
Taking one and just holding the soft petals to her cheek, she feels Dalton's gaze and looks over to see him studying her. Her eyes lock with his, and for an instant, it felt like someone was pulling something from her inner soul... something that made a chill run down her spine.
Looking away quickly, she swallows hard and concentrates on arranging the roses. "I'm sorry," she apologizes. "I guess I'm not the most fantastic company tonight. Just... one of those days... or something." She stares at the flowers as the same strange feeling of dread settles over her and she again fights to keep unknown images from entering her mind. Images that were dark... frightening. Yet without seeing them, how could she feel them... it was as if she already knew what they were, but her heart would not admit it.
The sound of a car horn down the street makes her jump violently enough that she drops one of the flowers on the table, her hands shaking. "Crap... everything's got me jumping tonight." Wrapping her arms around herself, she suddenly felt a little cold. "Can we eat in the living room while we watch a movie?" She needed a distraction... a comfy seat and something to keep her mind occupied.
Quirking an eyebrows, Wyatt opens the glove box hesitantly. Pulling out the little package, a new grin emerges. "Aww... you remembered."
Carefully unwrapping the gift and finding the leather wallet, his smile grows even more. "You are amazing, you know that?"
Even though Aerith was driving, Wyatt leans over and gives her cheek a kiss. "Thank you, Aerith... I love it."
