Dinner with anyone and you I can guarantee.

( He looks back out at the door to the cafe. )

You want to go inside?

[beanchaointe]

[She takes a breath, before glancing back towards the door.]

Yes. But after, maybe we could just walk around the city for a little while?

[She wants to just soak in the ambience for a little while longer.]

We could walk over to that bridge where people leave their locks and their initials.

( Bear with him. )

[beanchaointe]

[Her eyebrows go up as she smiles.]

We could. It is a feat of modern engineering that it hasn't fallen apart yet.

Or, a feat of mathematics. I'd love to hear the ins and outs of why that bridge has stood the test of time.

( He loves Lydia's mind, is that not clear yet? )

[beanchaointe]

Dinner first.

[But maybe that might be a nice place for a New Year's Eve kiss. But she does love that he loves her brain.]

Then we'll see about mathematic feats.

You drive a hard bargain, Lydia Martin.

( But, how can he say no? He leans down to give her a public, romantic, lingering kiss, before leading her into the cafe. )
