Julianne got up and walked over to him, wrapping her arms
around his neck and kissing his jaw. "Just a little Italian
dish I whipped up. It's new. I hope you like it."
Ethan thought about what "new" might mean. He suddenly
felt like he was on a game show and was just asked if he'd
like to take curtain one or curtain two. Knowing that behind
one of those curtains was something of value and behind
the other was disappointment. He really didn't want to be
disappointed tonight.
"I bet it'll be great." He hoped. "Let's eat."
He led the way to the table and sat down as Julianne took
her seat across from him, sitting down slowly. There were
moments when she didn't know how to respond to Ethan.
Even after all these years. Sometimes he was the easiest
and most delightful person to get along with. Other times he
was a ticking time bomb just waiting to explode. Almost as
if he were anticipating the moment when he could blow up.
