Leon held the heavy wooden door open for me like a true gentleman when we got to Milberry quarters, in fact, he'd been acting the gentleman all day. Our morning jog together around the neighbourhood he held my water, when we got back he helped me cook the dinner and set the table. After dinner, he had run me a bath whilst I destroyed our bedroom looking for something to wear for our dinner tonight and he helped me pull the hair out of my zip on the back of my dress after getting it caught. He didn't even have to act the part, clearly, he was already the perfect husband without needing to be.

"You ready to fend them all off ?" Leon asks as we walk through the entryway of the building.
"I won't need to because the men will be too busy pulling their women away from you!" I answer getting a laugh out of Leon
He wore just a cheap suit even though he could afford Armani if he really wanted but even in just a cheap get up he looked a million dollars.
I wore a black dress with black heels but wore a long-sleeved cotton cardigan that was long at the back so I didn't have too much skin on show.
I looked ok although I could look better. Not that we minded playing the part of local married couple with regular paying jobs.

We get shown to a table, walking through a separate room which held the bar and a dance floor and into the back which had the restaurant area. It was lowly lit with a candle sitting in a glass bowl on each table giving you the feeling of intimacy.
We sit down and Leon scans the room, already looking for anyone who could fit the part of a sleazy man.
I instead chose to just enjoy our 'date'
I knew if we were to find this man it'd probably be in the bar and I'm sure Leon knew that already.
"Do you think they got approached in the bar?" I ask my partner
"It seems the most logical place, we'll hurry with our food and spend most of our evening in the bar" he suggests
"You'd like that" I tease
Leon just smiles, neither agreeing nor denying.
"Well, you heard Hunnigan. We're leaving the investigation to them now, all we need to do is play our part"
"Madly in love and defenceless" I answer and Leon nods
"And what married couple doesn't need to drink on occasion?" He offers with a dazzling smile causing me to laugh
"Well drunk is defenceless!" I point out
"Exactly" he beams as he picks up his menu.

Leon holds my hand as he leads me to the bar, trying to not let it get to my head and be too sad when he lets go. He puls me a stool out and I slip on it as Leon waits beside me up the bar to order our drinks.

"Wine?" he asks me curiously

"No, I'll make it a Jack and Coke bounds as you're buying" I tease

"You drink JD?"

"Of course, remember?" I tease and Leon, or should I say Scott Laughs.

"Double" he offers as I twirl on my stool to view our suspects

"Trying to get me drunk?" I ask as I eye a few guys who fit the bill, Leon whispering "Lightweight"

I ignore that and Leon eyes the three men too as he speaks

"Of course not dear"

I scoff and look away, seeing if anyone else looked the type to try it on with a taken woman. It was hard to tell just by looking.

"Shall we slow dance?" I tease after finally getting my drink and having a few savoury sips as I view the 6 couples that danced

Leon follows my eyes to the couples and seems to be trying to see if any of them had wedding rings on

"Sure" he answers apathetically

"Don't sound too enthusiastic about it" I tease and he eyes me and smiles

"You're going to wish you never asked when I show you up up there," he says and I laugh

"Leon Kennedy, a dancer, ok, sure" I mock
