The three sat at Cara's round dinner table, chatting and eating.
"So Cara, you done with school?" Gilbert says with a half mouth full of potatoes.
"Sort of, I want to be a doctor."
"I can see that." He nods.
"A therapist, I wanna help people with their problems, listen to all the stories and what not." She nods.
"Help people like a Superhero?" Arnie speaks up.
"Yeah, guess so." Cara smiles
"We can both be crime fighters now." He laughs.
"We sure can." Cara stands up picking up her plate. Gilbert hands her his, and Arnie eats the last of his food as fast as he can and gives her his plate.
"Thank you Cara." Gilbert says wiping his mouth.
"You're welcome." She says putting them in the sink and filling the other side with soapy water. She starts washing them and a ring at the doorbell is heard, "Gilbert could you get that?"
"Uh, yeah." He answers getting up and walking over to the door. He opens it revealing the guy who came and got cookies from Cara a few days ago.
"Who is it Gil." She calls from the kitchen. The man steps in and walks towards the kitchen, a bouquet of flowers he was holding behind his back comes into view.
"Hello sweetheart." He says standing behind her, she turns her head and bit to see who it is and Elliot smiles down at her.
"Oh hi, sorry i'm just washing the dishes." She says drying off her hands on a nearby hand towel.
"Its fine baby," Elliot smirks showing her the flowers he got her.
"Oh, Elliot! Thank you." She takes them into one hand and smells them, "They're wonderful," she beams hugging him.
"I knew you'd like them."
"Let me go get a vase for these." With that Cara scurries out of the kitchen to find a vase. Elliot steps out into the living room and sits on the couch across from Arnie.
"Who are you?" Arnie asks him. Elliot turns his head to look at him.
"Elliot."
"Elliot." Arnie looks at him.
"Yesss." He chuckles, "say how old are ya' kid? 16? 17?" He puts his arm on the couch.
"No," Arnie laughs, "I'm like 20 or something."
"Oh, ok." Elliot leans back.
"I found one!" Cara says walking into the living room, she sets the vase of flowers on the dining room table trying to make it look even. All the while Elliot looks at her rear. Gilbert catches him as he walks in the living room from the bathroom, he hits his shoulder and scoffs.
"Show some respect."
