It was now Friday night, Adrian was in bed with thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind "I'm going on a date with my assistant!" he thought with unbelief. He started falling into a deep sleep were he started to see Trudy again on the bench; he walked over and sat down. "Hi Adrian" said Trudy holding his hands, "Are you excited about your date tomorrow?" "I'm a little bit happy," he said smirking. "I mean you know it's kinda strange." "Oh but Adrian, you can admit that you like her," she said giving him a playful push. "I will admit that I have grown more and more attached to her," he said feeling uncomfortable talking to her about it. "I'm happy for you Adrian," she said putting her head on his shoulder. "I couldn't have picked a better woman to be with you". Monk looked at her and lifted her chin, "Are you sure your not mad at me sweetie?" "Adrian why would I be mad at you, I love you and I want what's best for you," she said leaning back on the bench. "What will you do without me?" he asked looking at her dejectedly. "Don't worry about me Adrian, I'll be fine, all you need to worry about is what you're going to wear for your date," she said kissing his hand "Okay," he said lying back.
"So did you like "The Notebook", honey?" she asked staring into his eyes. "It was a very good love story, I wish you could have seen it, they were dancing to our song." "Oh, that's so sweet, I love, love movies," she said looking out at the sun as it was setting. "Trudy, why do you think people like love movie's?" asked Adrian tilting his head. "Well, I think people like love movies because it makes you feel good to see people together and in love, I think it's also because they wish there life was that way, everyone wants to be in love". Monk looked at her for the longest time and then leaned in and kissed her on the nose. "When I was watching the Notebook, all I could think about was how wonderful life would have been if you were with me," he said sadly. "Life is wonderful Adrian, there's so much stuff that God put on the earth for us to enjoy" she motioned towards the sky. "He made the birds for us to listen to, the flowers for us to smell, people to communicate with and so much more." Monk looked at her and the smiled, "Can't argue with you there hun," he said, putting his head on her lap. "Good night Trudy," he said as he closed his eyes. "Good night Adrian".
