It was an evening, Harvey is holding a key to his apartment which Donna had returned, the other night, Harvey gives a call to Paula and she immediately picks it up "I'm sorry who's this??" Paula asks

"I get it, I haven't returned your calls  for few days" Harvey accepts

" now that you mentioned it"

" Listen Paula, I'm sorry I've been totally under the gun at the firm but now I think we are out of the woods."

"Then how about you make it up to me by letting me take you out to dinner Thursday night?"
Harvey smiles at her gesture.

"Let me get this straight I get caught up with the work and my punishment is you taking me out??"

"I'm British, Harvey, we do things differently across the pound"

"The I'll see you Thursday"

" I guess you will. Good night, Harvey!"

"Good night, Paula!"

On the other side Donna is being distributed by the Harvey's sudden confessions about seeing Paula and the way it bothers her. She has talked it out with Rachel but it'll take time to disgust the news or may be she couldn't disgust. She's just wondering and takes out the book named 'Shakespeare's Songs and Sonnets' which was a gifted by her ex-boyfriend Mark and she decides to give him a call .

He answers the call, " Hello"

"Mark, hi. It's Donna Paulson."

"Donna. Wow. It's uh... good to hear from you. It's been a long time"

" Yeah I was um.. I was just thinking about you and I... decided to give you a call"

" I'm..... I'm glad you did, you know I think about you too from time to time."

"This is weird."

"Oh, I don't know. Ex-girlfriend calling, out of the blue, late night. I think I've seen weirder."

"Oh, have you." she's walking in the lobby of her apartment and smiling, atleast right now she's not thinking about Harvey and his new girlfriend.

"Well, nothing I can think of this second, but I'm sure I've." Mark says by remembering the old times when they were seeing each other.

"Well, while you're thinking about it, why don't you check your calander and see if you can squeeze me in for lunch sometime soon." Donna asks

"I don't have to check my calendar. I'm pretty sure I can squeeze you in any time."

"Then how's tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow sounds good. The, uh, place with the thing by the thing?"

"The place with the thing by the thing sounds good."

"Then see you there." by saying that she cuts the call and lean against the near wall thinking that this may take her away from the thoughts which are disturbing to her.

Next day at the lunch they both were having fun and laughing about their past funny incident
" And then you said ,"It's Mr. Dipshit, thank you very much." Donna said

"Well, if he's gonna be a sticker about whatv the name is on the reservation"

" And then for the rest of the weekend. We didn't have to pay for a single drink."

"Which was a good thing because you ordered tequila shots for everyone in the restaurant."

"It was Cinco de Mayo."

"It was August 9th."
And both chuckle.

"I can't believe you still remember that." Donna says by giving him a geniune smile
