probably wear something nice.”
    Collin came out of his
dreamlike state. “Well, I have to say that you look incredibly beautiful. This
is for you.” As he handed her a single rose, she smiled and put it in a vase
with water. She locked the door behind them as they walked out of her
apartment.
    “So where are we headed
off to?” He led her to his car and opened up the door for her.
    Collin smiled. “It’s a
surprise.”

    Regina looked out of
the window during their ride, wondering where they were headed off to. The
entire time she found herself smiling, thinking about Collin seeing her dressed
up for the first time. His reaction was like nothing she had ever seen from a
man, she rather enjoyed how he looked at her. It made her feel like he honestly
saw her as a woman and not some kind of weirdo.
    “What are you smiling
about over there?”
    “I was thinking about
something that’s all.”
    “Want to tell me about
it?” Collin chuckled as she shook her head no. “All right, you don’t have to
tell me about it unless you want to.”
    It seemed like it was
taking forever for them to get to their destination but soon they arrived in
Westburg, which was a small quaint town about ten miles away. Mainly made up
restaurants, boutiques and thrift stores, it was a place that Regina and Maxine
had been to once or twice when they had the means to do some shopping. They
pulled up to the Greenland’s, a place Regina had never heard of but knew it was
going to be fancy. The valet opened her door and helped her out. She walked
around the front to Collin’s side and he took her by the hand. Walking inside,
Regina saw that the place was just a quaint little restaurant that wasn’t all
that big, probably seated about fifty people or so but that night it wasn’t so
crowded. There were only a handful of people inside eating dinner that evening.
    “Hello there, how may I
help you two this evening?” asked the maître de with a smile as he grabbed two
menus.
    “I have reservations
for two, Noonan,” Collin told him with a wink.
    “Ah yes, Mr. Noonan,
please follow me.”
    Walking down the aisle
of tables, they turned toward a door that had a small gold plaque next to it
that said, The Couple’s Room in
cursive writing. When the man opened the door, Regina saw a table with two
chairs on either side that was made just for them. Candles illuminated the room
while orchids, roses and lilies fragranced the air with their beautiful aromas.
Walking inside, the maître de pulled out the chair for Regina. She joyfully sat
while still marveling at the room as Collin took the seat opposite her. “Your
waiter for this evening will be Michael and he’ll be in here shortly Enjoy,” he
told them with a smile as he walked out of the room, closing the door behind
him.
    “I can’t believe this,
this place is amazing. You did this all for me tonight?” Regina asked as he grabbed
a bottle of champagne from an ice bucket.
    “Of course, I told you
I wanted to make our first date a special one and I meant that. You deserve to
be treated nicely,” Collin said as he popped the cork and quickly grabbed a
glass while some champagne spilled out. Once he poured hers, he handed it to
her and poured himself a glass as well. “All right, I like to propose a toast,
to new friendships and hopefully new beginnings for us both.” Clinking glasses
together, they took a sip as the waiter came inside the room to get their order
for the evening.
    Once they finished
eating their dinner and dessert, they decided to leave the car at the
restaurant and walk along the square into the middle of town. Regina held onto
his arm while they walked and thought how wonderful being together felt. It was
a feeling that she had always wanted to have with a man and now she was
experiencing it with Collin Noonan of all men.
    They heard music playing
from at a club called The Hole in the Wall. When they got closer the front
door, Regina realized it was a
