Miranda curled her hair and put on a black dress. She sprayed perfume and grabbed her heels. She did slight touches of makeup and was applying her lipstick when she heard a car pull up. She looked out to see a nice Benz and Jamin stepped out. He ran up to her door and knocked.

She put her heels on grabbed her purse and opened the door

"Greetings" Jamin smiled

"You look nice" She smiled

He helped her to the car and opened the door for her. Once she was in he closed the door and hopped in the backseat

"These are for you" Ben handed her the bouquet

"They're beautiful thank you" She smiled

"Thank you for taking great care of my son" He smiled. Ben pulled off and drove to the restaurant. Jamin grinned as he saw the way Miranda was looking at his father. He didn't care what his dad said. They love each other.

They arrived to the restaurant. This time Ben walked around and opened Miranda's door.

"I see where Jamin gets it from" Miranda chuckled. Ben smirked and they all walked into the restaurant

"Greetings, do you beautiful people have a reservation" The host smiled

"Warren" Ben smiled

"Right this way" He smiled and lead them to a table. Ben pulled Miranda's chair out for her

"You two gents know how to treat a lady" Miranda blushed

"Well you deserve it right dad" Jamin judged Ben

"Right" Ben agreed

The waiter came and took their orders, soon their food and drinks came and they were just having small talk but to Jamin they were opening the doors to reigniting their love

"So tell me all about L.A"

"Really you want to hear about it" Ben was surprised

"I mean your son talks about Seattle so much you would think he's lived here his whole life so I didn't hear much about L.A" She chuckled

"Well I have a condo there. It has a great view of the city. Jamin likes it when he comes. As you know I'm a plastic surgeon"

"Yeah how'd that come about"

"Well unsurprisingly L.A has a big plastics industry. When I was in my residency general looked good but plastics is flashy. I liked the flash I guess so I went for it" He smiled "Plus my stitch technique was beloved by my Attending"

"Well that's amazing" She sipped her wine

"So how's Tuck" He asked "God he's all grown up now huh"

Miranda pulled out her phone and showed Ben and a picture of her and Tuck.

"Wow he looks just like you" He chuckled "Although I do see his father in him"

"He's in college now. Studying Political Science"

"Poli Sci" Ben looked at her with amazement "Good for Tuck"

"Excuse me" Jamin stood up from the table "Heading to the bathroom" He smiled and walked away

"Did you ever miss Seattle" Miranda poked at her food and avoiding looking at Ben

"I did from time to time. I think that's part of the reason I chose plastics. The idea of the flash was new and different from anesthesiologist Ben"

"I liked anesthesiologist Ben" She slightly whispered to herself but by the growing smirk on his face she could tell he heard

"Miranda" Ben looked at her
