"That's good." *Simon answered only to realize what he'd said.*
"I mean, that he's a friend. And nice. Having nice friends is good." *He added a little too quickly. Man, would he ever get any better at this? They were fine when they were up to their elbows in guts. He sighed helplessly.*

*Simon's gaze was drawn instantly to hers, looking a bit trapped.*
"Huh? Yes?" *He squeaked.*

"What are you doing tonight? After work that is?"
There, the invitation was out, what he did now was all up to him, although in Isa's mind...
Please say nothing, please say nothing, please say nothing...

*Simon shrugged, not immediately gathering that there was a potential for invitation in that.*
"Go home, eat and read I assume. Unless River is..." *The it hit him.*
"Oh! I mean, oh." *His gaze flitted, finally finding hers.*
"Did you want to...go out? For dinner. Or...something."

"That would be splendid, my shift get's off in two hours" she stood up slowly "I'll be waiting outside."
Setting her coffee down she made for the door and turned around just for a moment to smile and then leave.

*Simon stared blankly at the doorway once she'd left with his mouth agape. Did he...have a date? That was almost too strange a thought to fathom. Best get back to work and worry about it later. He quickly did so, at least the working part, but he found the worry harder to be rid of.*

**LATER THAT NIGHT**
Isa pulled her coat around her shoulders and tightened the scarf around her neck, there was a chill in the air that no jacket seemed to fix. But that was Paris, Isa had decided, no matter what season it was always chilly.

*Simon approached her cautiously, trying too hard to appear at ease.*
"Hi. Uh, you ready then?" *He asked in a mixture of hope and fear.*

Isa smiled, she had seen him talking to people before, if it was business he was more than comfortable, but when it came to the personal level, well...
"Yea" she replied pulling her coat as tight as she could "where were you thinking?"

"Um, well..." *Simon's brow lowered in thought.* "Food. Of some variety. That you like." *He tried to sound decisive but it wasn't really working for him. His eyes darted to hers.*
"What kind of food do you like?"

"I'm from America, I'll eat anything" she laughed "um, Chinese?"

*Simon managed a stronger smile. Chinese he could do. And he could speak it well enough.*
"Sure. That sounds great. Are you ready then?"

Isa smiled almost shyly "Of course."

*Simon smiled, escorting her out into the evening air.*
