"Oh… Well, I think it's a good idea… And I certainly wouldn't be opposed to it. I mean, we already practically act like we're married, anyway, except a for a few things," Autumn said with a shrug, her gaze growing curious. "Why did you want to know?"
Alex smiled and nodded a little, glancing back at her. “Right. I dunno. I was just thinking over it.” He kissed her hand gently.

Autumn hummed and nodded slowly. She smiled a bit at the kiss and picked up her glass with her free hand. "Well, then… I suppose that's all there is to it, isn't there?"
Alex lifted his own and clinked it together with hers. “Yep. Well, maybe.”

“How maybe?” Autumn laughed lightly, taking a small drink.
Alex drunk down the rest of his drink. “Mmm… maybe.” He laughed.

Autumn chuckled and shook her head as she ate another steak bite. “Okay, then… I’m just gonna let this go, I guess.”
Alex nodded smartly, smiling. “I would do the same exact thing.”
group
“M’kay,” Autumn hummed, sipping on her drink. “Are we ready to order?”
Alex grinned lightly. “Yep. If you are, that is.”
group
Autumn clicked her tongue and glanced at the menu again. “Yeah, I’m ready.”
Alex opened up his menu, eyeing the steak. “Mmmm… alright. Once a waiter comes over we will.”
group
(Do you want to skip to when they’re done?)
(Sure.)

Autumn gently pushed her plate away with a content sigh. “That was good… And now I’m full,” she added with a chuckle.
Alex wiped up the rest of the steak juices with a fry, humming in agreement.
“Not too full for a dessert, I hope?”
group
"Oh, never," Autumn laughed. "I could never be too full for dessert."
Alex nodded and went to eat the fry. Once he finished, he grabbed a slim dessert menu.
“They have some incredible cheesecake.”
group
Autumn clicked her tongue as she looked at a second one. “Cheesecake is the best… We should get that.”
Alex nodded his agreement. “We absolutely should. It’d be a wonderful dessert.”
group
"Most definitely! Ooh, could we get the strawberry cheesecake?" Autumn wondered as she looked at it, practically drooling at the thought.
Alex smiled dreamily at her expression, laughing. “Of course! We can share it, like couples do.”
group
Autumn blinked out of her reverie and smiled at Alex. “Definitely! Though I can’t promise to share it fairly,” she half-joked.
Alex rolled his eyes and waved his hand. “No worries. The cheesecake here is humongous.”
group
“Mm, good,” Autumn chuckled. “Because I really like cheesecake.”
Alex laughed softly and shut the menu. “Good! Then we’ll take the cheesecake.”
group
“Strawberry cheesecake,” Autumn clarified with a smile. “Because you can never go wrong with strawberry cheesecake.”
Alex clicked his tongue at her, rolling his eyes. “Same difference. Strawberry cheesecake for the lady and I.” He laughed.
group
Autumn chuckled as the waiter went to get their dessert. “So… Do I get to why we’re here, yet?”
“Not quite,” Alex teased lightly, beaming. “You’ll find out sooner or later.”
