It was 6:30 Tuesday before Mary knew it. She had called and asked Sybil to help her pick out an outfit. Sybil was estatic to find out that Mary and Matthew were going on a date.
" Mary, you must wear this one. You will look like a princess!" exclaimed Sybil.
It was a purple knee length dress with a clutch to match.
"Well, I don't have much of a choice, but I do like this one. said Mary happily.
She then proceeded to put on a the dress that Sybil chose. It was a purple floor length dress with short lace sleeves.
" Well, I had better go before your date gets here." said Sybil.
" Yes, he should be here at any time. Thank You for all of your help." Mary said gratefully.
" Any time. I will see you tomorrow." replied Sybil as she left.
A few minutes after Sybil left Mary heard the doorbell ring.
She opened the door to see Matthew standing in front of her with a dozen red roses.
" You look absolutely beautiful." said Matthew
" Thank you, Matthew. You don't look so bad yourself" said Mary.
"Thank You." Matthew chuckled as he led Mary to his car.
" Where are you taking me?" questioned Mary.
" It is a surprise." smiled Matthew as he tied a blindfold over her eyes.
The ride to the restaurant was spent in a comfortable silence, except for an occasional question from Mary. When they got there Matthew took the blindfold off.
" Oh Matthew, Clos Maggiore! How did you know?" asked a shocked and emotional Mary.
" Sybil told me to take you here. I have no idea why, but I listened." replied Matthew.
" She knew that it was my fantasy to have my first date here." said Mary.
" Well, I hope that your fantasy approves." replied Matthew as they walked in.
They walked in and a waiter showed them to their table. It was beautifully lit by candle light, and there were a dozen red roses by Mary's seat. She looked up at Matthew with a shocked expression on her face. He smiled as he pulled out her chair. They then proceeded to order.
After dinner they had decided to go to the movies.
After the date...
They arrived a few hours later at Mary's house.
" Thank you for tonight, Matthew. Everything was wonderful." said Mary.
" Does that mean there will be a second date?" questioned Matthew.
" Your wish is my command." replied Mary.
" How does next Friday at eight sound?" questioned Matthew.
" Wonderful." replied Mary happily.
" Goodnight then, My Dear Mary." said Matthew.
" Goodnight, Matthew." she replied.
And then he kissed her.
