"I'm going to be honest with you, I'm kind of nervous," Lily tells Lizzie.

"We've gone out to eat together before," Lizzie tells her. "It's no different. Except you're looking much nicer than you usually do."

Lily had actually put in some effort now that their dinner is now labeled as a date rather than some random dinner with a friend. She's wearing a tight black turtleneck that accentuates her figure with light jeans and accessories that brings her outfit together.

Lizzie outdid herself as well, dressing up more than normal. She wears a simple grey t-shirt but wears a tan blazer overtop with dark jeans. With a scarf and sunglasses, she hoped she looked good for the date.

Lily gives her a teasing smile, "So what I'm hearing is that you don't think I look good on a normal basis

Lily gives her a teasing smile, "So what I'm hearing is that you don't think I look good on a normal basis."

"No, you look good. Just a little bit better tonight," Lizzie says, not fazed by her attempt at teasing her.

"Well, you're looking fantastic as well," Lily compliments, taking a hold of Lizzie's hand in her own as she drives through the city.

Just like it was previously, Lizzie was kept in the dark with where Lily would be taking her. She's come to enjoy the surprise knowing any place they went to would exceed her expectations anyway. Lizzie would enjoy anywhere they went if it is with Lily but her track record holds up too – there hasn't been a place she didn't like.

Lily pulls into a parking lot and parks the car in an empty spot. She quickly gets out and runs over to the other side to open the door for Lizzie.

Lizzie is pleasantly surprised by her action but couldn't help but tease her about it. "Oh, I get different treatment now that we're dating?"

Lily flushes, having been caught by her slightly different behavior towards her. Also because hearing that they are dating is nice to hear, even though she knew that this is indeed a date. "You can open your doors from here on out," Lily fires a teasing remark back.

"No no," Lizzie says quickly as she links her arm around one of Lily's. "I like the special treatment."

"That's what I thought," Lily snickers and guides her across the street and to a the restaurant. They drop their arms when they walk up and Lily opens the door for to the hostess and Lily tells her they have a reservation under "Lily Rowan."
