"Marry someone who lets you have a bite of their brownie, even when you said you weren't hungry."

"Oh, I couldn't eat another bite," Mary leaned back in her seat, smiling contentedly at Matthew.

Her boyfriend grinned, "You did tuck into that fettuccine with astounding gusto."

Mary reached across the table to swat at him, "You know very well that I haven't eaten a thing since breakfast! And even that was only Cheerios."

Matthew laughed, "I'm only teasing, Mare. I know you've had a long day."

Mary reached across the table and patted his hand, "I forgive you."

She grinned cheekily and her eyes twinkled.

Matthew picked up her hand and kissed the knuckles. He loved her so much.

"Come on," he said, "It's getting late and I've an early day in court tomorrow."

Mary nodded and pulled her jacket on, "Are you going to be terribly busy?"

Matthew rested his hand against Mary's lower back, as he led her out onto the sidewalk, "Not terribly At least, once I get back to the office I shouldn't be. Why?"

Mary shrugged, "I might be in the area at lunch time. I just wanted to see if you would be in your office."

Matthew reached out to grab her hand, "I'll be in my office and I would love for you to visit me."

"Good," Mary said, "It's a date."

They walked in comfortable silence for a few blocks, until Matthew spotted one of his favorite food trucks.

"Mary!" he exclaimed, "We have to stop."

"For what?" Mary asked, falling back next to Matthew.

"For that," he grinned, pointing to a truck that bore a sign saying 'Ice Cream Brownies.'

Mary squinted at the sign, "Ice cream sundaes on top of warm brownies?"

Matthew's grin made him seem twelve years old, "They're fantastic! You have to try one!"

Mary shook her head, "I couldn't. I'm completely stuffed, but don't let me stop you from getting one."

Matthew's face fell slightly at Mary's denial of the treat, but he still tugged her forward and ordered a sundae for himself.

They walked while Matthew ate, and Mary couldn't help but sneak glances at the sundae. It did look good.

"Do you want a bite?" Matthew asked through a mouthful of brownie and ice cream.

Mary shook her head, "Oh, no. I'm still full. But thank you, darling."

Matthew shrugged, and continued to tuck into his sundae, "You're missing out."

Mary continued to stare at Matthew's dessert. She was full, but it did look very good.

Matthew suddenly laughed and held out the take away container, "Alright, Mare. Have at it."

Mary laughed, "I'm not hungry, I told you."

"You've been looking at the brownie like a lost puppy that's gone weeks without food," Matthew laughed, "Have a bite at least."

Mary grinned, "Oh, if you insist."

Matthew happily relinquished his fork to Mary and watched as she dove into the sweet treat.

"Mmmmmm," she hummed, mouth full of dessert, "This is good!"

Matthew laughed and wiped a smudge of hot fudge off of Mary's cheek with the pad of this thumb.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it," he grinned, eyes twinkling, "Even if you protested originally."

Mary smiled sheepishly, "Well, I'm lucky that you let me bogart your desserts."

"Only because I love you," Matthew said, looping an arm around Mary's waist, "Now let me have it back."

Mary shifted to cover the remaining ice cream with her upper body, "No, I don't think I will."

"Mary!" Matthew exclaimed, "You said you were full!"

"I may have misjudged that," Mary giggled, forking another piece of brownie.

Matthew sighed, "The things I do for love."
