Left Behind

So Lucky

It was a few days before Jessica and Danny were leaving for Minnesota. Thanksgiving was coming up and they were all going to see their family.

Jessica had a goal when she got to Minnesota. She wanted to see Sarah and talk to her. For Jessica, it had been too long. To this day she was still beating herself up for everything that went down. She missed her best friend. In a way, she felt lost without her. She missed their lunch dates, long talks on the phone, and hang outs when they'd sit and talk with a glass of wine.

Danny had noticed that Jessica was still sad. Before they left for Minnesota he wanted to treat her to a nice dinner in the city. With work they weren't able to spend a lot of alone time together.

Jessica had a long day at work. She wasn't very happy. When she got home Danny greeted her with roses.

"Hello, Love." He says kissing her

Jessica holds the flowers "Hello...
I wasn't expecting flowers, thank you." She says softly

"Of course... maybe you and I could go into the city and have a nice dinner."

"Tonight?" She says

He shrugs his shoulders and puts his hands on her upper arms. "Yes, you and I need a peaceful romantic night."

Jessica smirks and sets the roses down.

"You have reservations, don't you?" She giggles

He smiles cutely "Yes, I've had this planned all week."

"Let me go get ready. Thank you, Danny. I do need a romantic night with my lovely husband." She says caressing his cheek.

Jessica came out of the room in a sheer black blouse and a black skirt. Danny was in a dress shirt and pants. He had reservations at a steak house not too far from the apartment.

"Wow, what a hot wife I have." He says putting his hands on her hips.

"It feels nice to dress up for an occasion other than work." SHe smiles

He takes her hand and grabs the keys. "I can't wait."

When they get to the restaurant they sit down, order drinks then food.

They had a candle lit dinner in a secluded section of the restaurant. It was very quite, just how they liked it.

Danny stared into Jessica's eyes for a bit. He was Aww struck. He was married to Jessica and it still didn't feel real. He still couldn't believe that he was lucky enough to have her as his wife. He had dreamed of calling her his since high school. He loved her to the moon and back.

"Jessica, I love you."

Jessica blushes "I love you too." She giggles

He takes her hands and holds them. "I feel as if I don't tell you enough, How special you are to me."

"Danny, you do. And you're just as special to me." She says

He sighs "I appreciate you so much."

Jessica smiles "Danny..." She utters

"I'm so lucky to have you. We've been married for a few months now and I still have to pinch myself sometimes. I didn't think it was possible to be this in love."

Jessica giggles "I'm lucky to have a guy like you, honey. Thank you, for such a wonderful night." She says
