9 Days of Lancaster Day3: Other’s POV
Summer:Y’know when I was growing up I was often told to win a guy over by making a delicious meal. Not to brag but I think I make an exceptional steak; yet despite all odds, my dear husband chooses to decline mine in favor of a restaurant’s. It’s a good thing my pride isn’t easily bruised~
Tai:*red* Summer, it’s our anniversary. Neither of us should be cooking. We’re on a date!
Summer:Hehe, I’m just teasing. Still, it’s a bit funny you chose a steakhouse.
Tai:Well it has a certain someone’s favorite dessert I can’t seem to recreate.*looks at menu*
Summer:Don’t feel bad. Strawberry tarts might as well be arcane sorcery. I can only make like three perfect ones. Of course that means I only eat one while the rest go to-
Tai:….*looks up* Summer?
Tai:Yeah, she does love them as much as-
He looked over his shoulder and sure enough, several tables away was their daughter in a pink dress with strawberries on it, sitting patiently in a booth. Before either of them could question why, the girl’s head perks up as a well dressed Jaune approaches and sits on the opposite end of the booth.
Summer:That’s not the shocking part. Our little girl is in pink! When did she even buy that?
Tai:Well she has gotten a friend that’s rather high class. Should we embarrass them?
Summer:Taiyang Xiao Long…
Tai:It was a jooooke. I won’t bother her. I’m not that mean.
Even from here, Summer could tell her girl was twiddling her thumbs. She also did that when she was nervous. Ruby’s face was permanently pink and her eyes, though a little avoidant, always returned to their target with the softest gaze that melted Summer’s heart. Tai couldn’t hear the conversation between the two, but he could see that they were giggling nonstop.
Summer:Our little girl is really in love, isn’t she?
Tai:No doubt about it. I remember you used to make that same face when we studied together.
Summer:Cross our fingers that boy doesn’t pick someone else then.
Tai:Wooooow, you’re feisty today.
Summer:I kid, I kid. Honestly the fact those two are on a date is proof she’s leagues ahead of me at her age.
Tai:Maybe one day this will be their anniversary spot.
Summer:Don’t make me cry! *raises hand* Waiter!
Waiter:Hmm? Is something wrong?
Summer:No. sniffles Just…send a plate of strawberry tarts to that young couple over there. Keep it anonymous.
Waiter:Consider it done. *walks away*
Tai:She’s definitely going to know something is up.
Summer:She’ll be distracted by pastries.
Tai:Guess I’ll go ahead and pay their bill too. Wouldn’t want Ruby to eat all this man’s money.
Summer:Oh? Has he earned your respect? A guy good enough for your babygirl?
Tai:*red*…I like how attentive he seems to be. It makes her smile; not to mention she’s constantly bringing him up. If she’s happy, I’m happy.
Summer:Awww, how cute. I just might fall for you all over again.
Tai:Well it is our anniversary. *holds hand* Shall we pretend it’s our first date all over again? *kisses hand.
Summer:*blushes* I remember how that ended.
Tai:I meant the dinner and butterflies!
Summer:Hehe, yes. To all of it.
Summer:You know who you married.
