Chapter 4: Two Dates, One Day

A/N: Special thanks to charahkids for serving as the Beta reader for this story! My thanks again for the reviews, PMs, favs, and follows!

I intended to post this chapter yesterday, but I had to play husband and dad for a little while. It worked out. It allowed charakids and I to do a final touch-up.

I'm behind on responding to reviews, my apologies for that. I do thank you all for taking the time to share your thoughts. The next update should be ready in a few days, perhaps as late as the weekend. Sooner if possible.

This chapter is a little longer, with a tad more narrative during the second date.

Enjoy!

Chuck handed the repaired laptop to a customer and felt his phone buzz. He stared down and smiled. It was Sarah, texting him again.

Hey! Ready 4 lunch?

Chuck glanced at his watch and smiled.

Sure. Meet you at the Double O?

Chuck grabbed his cane when his phone buzzed again.

Look up.

Chuck glanced up, and saw Sarah standing on her tip-toes at the entrance, giving him a wave. Chuck smiled and waved back.

Chuck ignored the prodding from his fellow co-workers. Even Big Mike noticed the commotion, and headed for the Nerd Herd desk.

Big Mike shook his head. "Bartowski, don't keep that young lady waiting. Go enjoy your lunch, son. The rest of you clowns, get back to work!"

Chuck nodded bashfully. "Thanks, Big Mike."

Big Mike handed Chuck a $10 bill. "If you go by the deli, I'd like a ham and cheese with all the fixings."

Chuck nodded. "You're in luck. That's where we're headed."

Big Mike smiled. "Take your time."

Chuck headed to the entrance and met Sarah. Sarah gave Chuck a hug and a quick peck on the cheek. Chuck blushed slightly. Sarah wrapped her arm around Chuck's, and the two walked towards Lou's.

Sarah gave Chuck a dazzling smile. "So…how is your day going?"

Chuck smiled bashfully. "Well, it's looking up at the moment."

Sarah grinned. "Mine too."

Sarah glanced away. "I, uh, I forgot to ask if it's okay if I text you."

Chuck gave Sarah a warm smile. "Sure. Why wouldn't it be?"

Sarah shrugged. "I don't know…I suppose I don't want to seem…stalkerish."

Chuck snorted. "Are you kidding me? Sarah, I don't see you texting me all morning as stalkerish…well not entirely."

Sarah narrowed her eyes. Chuck winked. "Gotcha."

Sarah swatted Chuck's arm playfully. "Then I won't be texting you again."

Chuck laughed softly. "Sarah, it's fine. I enjoy texting with you. As long as you don't start sending me pictures of your body parts, text all you want."

Chuck covered his head and laughed. Sarah grabbed his arm and rolled her eyes. "Oh, very mature." Sarah covered her mouth to stifle her laughter.

Sarah glanced at Chuck. "Can you believe people do that?"'

Chuck took a breath. "Unfortunately. I knew a lot of guys who received rather risqué photos of their wives and girlfriends on deployment. Now, I did find it cute when these women were clothed, just wanting to get all dolled up. Sending a picture of yourself in your underwear? That's just raunchy."

Sarah sighed. "Sadly, a lot of women do that for attention."

Chuck nodded solemnly. "Yeah. No one should ever have to do anything that drastic to get attention."

Sarah smiled softly. "Are you always this noble?"

Chuck stared Sarah in the eyes. "That has nothing to do with being noble, Sarah. That's just basic right and wrong."

Sarah nodded. "That may be, but you strike me as someone who always does the right thing. There are a lot of people who take advantage of good looks. I know, I've been there."

Chuck nodded sadly as they reached the entrance to Lou's. "Like I told you last night. It sickens me that people have expected anything from you other than you being you."

Sarah's heart fluttered. She leaned up and gave Chuck a gentle kiss on the cheek. "Thank you."

Sarah entered the deli first, followed by Chuck. The two stood in line at the counter. Lou noticed Chuck and gave him a wave, then walked around the counter.

Lou gave Chuck a warm hug. "Hey, Chuck. Long time no see. Where have you been hiding these days?"

Chuck grinned. "Not from this place, I assure you. I've been helping out during the lunch rush."

Lou smiled at Sarah, and held out her hand. "Hey, Sarah."

Sarah smiled. "Hey, Lou."

Lou gave Sarah a wink. "Watch out for this guy. He's a charmer."

Sarah gave Chuck a smile. "I'm starting to notice that." Why do I feel jealous that she hugged him?

Lou laughed softly. "Chuck, why don't you and Sarah take that booth over there? Do you want the usual?"

Chuck nodded. "Sure."

Chuck turned to Sarah. "Sarah, what would you like?"

Sarah glanced at the menu. "I think I'll have a Chef's salad. Hold the ham and bacon bits. Light ranch dressing."

Lou smiled. "Perfect. You guys take a seat, and I'll bring out your orders."

Sarah smiled. "Thanks, Lou."

Lou nodded. "My pleasure, Sarah."

Chuck and Sarah made their way to the fountain and filled their cups. Sarah opted for a water, while Chuck filled his cup with a sports drink. The two took their seats at a both, just as their orders arrived.

The two thanked Lou and began eating their lunch. During lunch, Chuck and Sarah stole glances, and grinned at each other periodically.

To Chuck's credit, being raised by an older sister taught him a lot about women. Sarah looked beautiful, but today, he noticed the extra care she took primping herself. Her hair was curled, and she wore slightly more make-up. Instead of wearing white capri pants, typical of the Orange Orange uniform, she wore a khaki button-down skirt. She also wore a nice cardigan to cover up the orange tank top. She wasn't just beautiful, she was off the charts.

Sarah blushed slightly when Chuck's eyes studied her look. She gave Chuck a toothy smile.

"What?"

"You look gorgeous. That's what." Chuck said in earnest.

Sarah bit her bottom lip to off-set the crimson rising in her cheeks. "Thank you."

Sarah kept staring at Chuck's tie, and finally, couldn't help herself. She got up, and scooted into the seat next to him. "May I?"

Chuck narrowed his eyes, and glanced at his tie. "Uh…sure."

Sarah adjusted his tie, then her eyes met Chuck's. She grazed her fingers across his brow, and then across his shoulder. "There." Okay, get control, Sarah. I don't want to appear OCD. I have been wanting to play with his tie, and his hair since meeting him for lunch.

Chuck smirked. "I know, I dress sloppy."

Sarah turned coy. "I'm not an expert on the military, but didn't they teach you how to dress properly?"

Chuck shrugged. "We were punished if our uniform wasn't pristine. Let's just say… I did a lot of push-ups between basic training and "A" School for my lack of congeniality. Aaaaand for sticking my hands in my pockets. Apparently, the sloppy-grunge look is frowned upon by the military."

Sarah grinned. "Push-ups?"

"I…well, after getting my ass handed to me." Chuck smiled sheepishly after the comment.

Sarah laughed softly. "A lot of photographers I worked with were like that."

Chuck smiled at how cute Sarah looked when she rested her face in her hand, and the way her blue orbs shined in the light. "I had to sit through several episodes of Project Runway with Ellie. It looked stressful."

"It was." Sarah said, playing with a straw. "Behind the scenes, you have minutes for make-up and wardrobe changes. People are shouting, and running over each other."

"That sounds like the first 48 hours of boot camp." Chuck said with much levity in his tone.

Sarah grabbed a carrot from her tray, and took a bite. "Where all did the Navy send you?"

"Great Lakes, Illinois for boot camp and "A" School, I attended FMTB at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, then I was assigned to the Fifth Marines, First Marine Division based out of Camp Pendleton in San Diego." Chuck paused, and swallowed hard. "I was deployed three times. Twice to Iraq, and once to Afghanistan."

Sarah smiled sadly. "I bet it was hard."

"Not always. Being in a war zone is stressful, don't get me wrong. Some of the best times of my life took place with the guys I served with. You had to watch your back. Running gags on each other was common. It's just…guys being guys, I suppose. We were all homesick, so we had to do something to take the edge off." Chuck said.

Chuck took a sip of his drink. "I'm sure being a model meant a lot of stamps on your passport, huh?"

"Yeah, I visited Europe quite often. Milan and the French Riviera were probably the most enjoyable places I visited." Said Sarah, taking another bite of her carrot.

Chuck smiled, with a faraway look. "What about Paris? I've always wanted to see the Eiffel Tower."

Sarah smiled softly. "I've been to Paris six times, and I have yet to visit the Eiffel Tower. I've seen it from a distance, and from the air. It's really beautiful at night."

Sarah looped her arm in Chuck's, and smiled sweetly. "Maybe we can visit it together sometime."

Chuck's eyes lit up. "Really?"

Sarah grinned. He cares so much about the little things most of us take for granted. His enthusiasm is infectious! "It's that important to you?"

Chuck nodded. "It's one thing to read about an important place, or see it in a picture. But, to see something that iconic up close…it's just…amazing to me."

Sarah pat Chuck's arm, and smiled. Chuck didn't take anything for granted, and she enjoyed that about him. "In that case, we'll have to make visiting Paris a priority."

"Not on my salary." Chuck said in playful sarcasm.

Sarah winked. "Don't give up hope." Okay, if this relationship goes where I feel it going…a romantic getaway to Paris is in order. I wonder how he would feel about a hotel with a view of the Eiffel Tower?

The pair continued chatting, and enjoying each other's company. After lunch, Chuck escorted Sarah back to the Orange Orange. Sarah gave Chuck a peck on the cheek and thanked him for lunch. To Sarah's surprise, he paid for both of their lunches. She considered it a sweet gesture. Cole often had her pay for dates.

As Chuck walked away, Sarah's phone rang. She rolled her eyes when she saw the number.

"What do you want, Carina?"

Carina answered sweetly. "Is that any way to talk to an old friend? I was going to invite you out clubbing tonight. We haven't hung out in a while."

Sarah sighed. "No thanks. I have plans."

Carina chuckled. "What, teaching college girls and house wives yoga and aerobics? Come on, Sarah! Just one night. Zondra tells me that new club in Hollywood has a lot of hot guys."

Sarah answered curtly. "You two have fun. I have a date tonight."

Carina grinned. "Back in the saddle already, huh? Come on, details! Is he a hunk? Anybody I know?"

Sarah rolled her eyes. "He's no one you would know. He's a really great guy."

Carina laughed. "Come on, Sarah. You moved to Snoresville. Burbank is filled with losers. Besides, LA has the cultural panache of a port-o-potty."

Sarah gritted her teeth. "Carina, this guy is not a loser. Look, I have two businesses to run. Try not to end up in the tabloids tonight."

Sarah disconnected the call and huffed in frustration. She cast her gaze toward Chuck, who turned and waved as he entered the Buy More. Sarah smiled softly and waved back. Another first. That's the first time a guy has ever waved at me.

Sarah muttered to herself. "There is no one else I would rather be with tonight than you, Chuck. You're the first guy I have ever met who understands me."

Later that evening, Sarah spent an hour trying on different ensembles for her date with Chuck. She wanted to look elegant, but not too over-the-top. She decided to leave the short dresses and skirts at home, and go for a simple purple blouse, black skinny jeans, and ankle boots. She wore her hair in a French bun.

Sarah arrived in Echo Park at 6:45. She knew she was early, but she was excited. She felt like a teenager again with a schoolgirl crush. Sarah walked through the courtyard, and smiled at how cozy the complex looked. She especially liked the fountain in the center of the courtyard.

Sarah knocked on the door to Chuck's apartment, and was taken by surprise when a beautiful brunette answered the door.

This must be Chuck's sister, Ellie...or it better be. Sarah thought with a slight pang of jealousy.

Ellie stood there stoic. She moved forward, and quickly closed the door behind her. Sarah was shocked and confused. Worried, actually. Ellie grabbed Sarah's arm, and moved them to the side.

With a low, snarly voice, Ellie said. "Sarah, is it?"

Sarah slowly nodded her head.

"I know you're a supermodel and a party girl. I also know that your ex cheated on you. Chuck is not your 'rebound' guy. My wonderful brother is a kind, and sweet man. He has been through a lot lately, and he is not to be played. He has a big heart, and if you ever hurt him, you'll have ME to deal with. Am I clear?"

Sarah knew at that instant Ellie was a force to be reckoned with. She respected how loyal and protective she was of Chuck. She immediately admired Ellie...and feared her.

Sarah responded with a soft voice. "Ellie, I adore your brother. He's a wonderful man. I know what it's like to be treated badly. I would NEVER do anything to hurt him...ever." Sarah's gaze dropped to her feet, her blue orbs getting misty.

Ellie's heart broke. She knew what Sarah just said was sincere. She assumed that Sarah was trying to start over, considering her new career. She deserved a chance. In fact, she was a keeper.

I may have been a little rough on the woman…but Chuck hit the jackpot! Squealed Ellie in the inside.

Ellie softened her features. She pulled Sarah back, and they were now in front of the door. Ellie happened to have a facial tissue in her pocket, and dabbed Sarah's eyes without ruining her makeup. Sarah let her do it without protest.

"Ok, let me start over." Ellie held out her hand and said with a chipper voice. "You must be Sarah. I'm Ellie, Chuck's sister!"

Sarah let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. She smiled and shook Ellie's hand. "Hi, Ellie. It's a pleasure to finally meet you."

Ellie opened the door, and stepped aside. "Please come in. Chuck should be out any second. He got home from work a little late."

Sarah waved a hand. "I understand completely. I'm a little early."

Sarah glanced around the apartment and smiled. "I love your place. It looks so warm and cozy."

Ellie smiled. "Thank you. Would you like something to drink while you wait?"

Sarah shook her head politely. "No thank you. I'm fine."

Ellie motioned for the couch. "Please, have a seat. Let me check on my knucklehead brother."

Sarah took a seat on the couch and glanced around the apartment. A blonde male walked around the kitchen island and held out his hand, giving Sarah a warm smile.

"I'm Devon. Ellie's husband. It's nice to meet you, Sarah."

Sarah nodded politely. "It's a pleasure to meet you too, Devon. So, Chuck tells me you and Ellie are doctors?"

Devon smiled. "Yeah, I'm a cardiologist, and Ellie is a neurologist."

Sarah smiled warmly. "That's amazing."

Devon looked around and made sure Ellie wasn't in hearing distance. He leaned to Sarah and whispered. "Did...did Ellie give you the third degree?"

Sarah looked down and nodded.

With a toothy smile Devon said. "Don't take it personal, Sarah. That's Ellie's way of vetting potential suitors. If it's any consolation, Ellie likes you, or you wouldn't be in here. You passed."

Sarah nodded bashfully.

Devon heard Chuck about to exit his room, and winked at Sarah. "Go get em'."

Sarah smiled warmly at Devon. "Thank you, Devon."

Chuck exited his bedroom and smiled at Sarah. "Hey Sarah. Wo...wow, you look beautiful." Chuck cleared his throat nervously.

Sarah blushed slightly, giving Chuck a dazzling smile. "Thanks. You look very handsome."

Chuck nodded. "I sort of cheated. Ellie demanded she use me as a Ken-doll and play dress-up. Now I know how her Barbie dolls felt when she was little."

Ellie grinned. "Well, I'm sure Sarah approves."

Sarah nodded, and spoke playfully. "You did a magnificent job, Ellie."

Chuck smiled at Sarah. "Well…shall we?"

Sarah nodded. "Um, sure."

Ellie pat her brother on the back. "Don't be out too late there, Sailor."

Chuck rolled his eyes. "Yes, Admiral."

Chuck laughed softly and opened the door for Sarah. Everyone said their good-byes, and the two entered the courtyard. Sarah looped her arm in Chuck's.

Ellie took Devon by the hand. "Well, what do you think?"

Devon grinned. "Awesome!"

Ellie chuckled. "Need I have even asked? Come on, husband. Let's watch a movie."

Devon turned serious. "It's good to see the Chuckster smiling again."

Ellie rested her head on Devon's shoulder. "I still can't believe he's going out with a model. I knew he had it in him to meet someone special."

As Chuck and Sarah arrived at Sarah's car, Chuck gave Sarah a bashful smile. Sarah stared at Chuck through her eyelashes, smiling softly.

Chuck grinned. "Well, we made it through the pre-date. Now for the main event."

Sarah chuckled softly. "I'm looking forward to it."

Chuck smiled. "So am I."

The drive to the restaurant was interesting. Chuck had never ridden in a Porsche. He also learned that Sarah drove like a maniac. Sarah chuckled when he informed her the hand bar over the door was affectionately known as the "Oh shit!" bar in the military.

Chuck and Sarah sat in a booth, and sipped margaritas waiting for their meal. Chuck kept stealing glances, much to Sarah's delight.

Sarah smiled. "What?"

Chuck smiled bashfully. "You're just…beautiful, Sarah."

Sarah crossed her hands under her chin. Let's crank things up a notch. "What's beautiful about me?"

Chuck smiled. "You're going to make me say it aren't you?"

Sarah stared in Chuck's eyes. "Mmhmm."

Chuck nodded, and stared Sarah in the eyes. "Okay. Well, your eyes for starters. I've never seen blue eyes that change shades with your emotions. Like, right now they are a soft shade of blue, because I can tell you're happy, and relaxed."

Sarah smiled a toothy smile, practically squealing on the inside. WOW! "Go on."

Chuck nodded. "Okay. Yes, you have a very pretty face. But, if you look beyond that, you have a very cool personality. You're kind-hearted. I mean, you're providing the highlight of an average guy's life tonight sitting across from him smiling that smile that makes me feel like turning to goo."

Sarah glanced away bashfully, smiling from ear to ear. She took Chuck's hand, while a soft expression formed on her face. "Actually, you're making tonight the highlight of that girl's life. You're pretty amazing."

Chuck grinned, replying with playful sarcasm. "Please. I'm incredible."

Sarah answered in earnest. "Yeah. You are." In fact, you're perfect.

Chuck smiled warmly. "Are you enjoying yourself?"

Sarah smiled. "Very much. You?"

Chuck nodded. "In all honesty, this is the best date I've ever been on, Sarah. I mean that."

Sarah stared in Chuck's eyes. "Me too."

Sarah took a breath. "In fact…I like you, Chuck."

Chuck smiled warmly. "I like you too."

Sarah leaned across the table, and took Chuck by the hand. "You are incredible. I am so glad we met."

Chuck smiled. "I just feel...like this is a dream. I keep thinking I need to pinch myself. I never imagined gorgeous and kind-hearted could exist in the same sentence. But with you, that doesn't break the surface of how amazing you are."

Sarah cocked her head to the side, and smiled. "Chuck, there is nowhere I would rather be than sitting right here with the most handsome, and caring man I have ever met."

Comfortable silence passed for several seconds, as the couple stared in each others eyes, as if under a spell. A beautiful, loving spell. All sights and sounds of the busy restaurant disappeared, as if Chuck and Sarah were the only two people in existence. Although no words were spoken, they eyes spoke volumes to one another.

Seconds later, their food arrived, breaking the trance. The two spent the rest of their time in the restaurant talking about themselves. Each soaking up information about the other like a sponge, all the while, surrendering to the unseen force that began the much needed healing of two broken hearts.

After leaving the restaurant, Chuck took Sarah to a small club near Echo Park. It was a modest club in the Indie scene, with a bar, live band, and dancing. The two sat on a bench and enjoyed the music while sipping a cocktail. Dancing was one of Sarah's favorite activities, and she was asked to dance several times by other men, but she politely turned them down. Sarah was actually taken aback when the same men begged Chuck's pardon when they saw his cane.

As the night drew on, Chuck took Sarah to the Griffith Observatory. The Griffith Observatory had a perfect view of the city lights, and stars. Sarah had never seen anything so mesmerizing. Chuck pointed out the names of several stars and constellations. Sarah quickly learned Chuck possessed boyish enthusiasm, which she found endearing. Chuck went out of his way to make this night all about her.

Chuck was equally impressed with Sarah's knowledge. When Chuck pointed out a constellation, Sarah would recite what she learned during her days at Harvard, taking a course in Greek mythology. Chuck listened in awe as Sarah gave a brief synopsis of each constellation.

In turn, Sarah beamed inside at someone interested in actually talking to her. The two spent hours staring across the landscape, and at the night sky.

When the observatory closed, Chuck suggested the two drive to a beach in Malibu. For the rest of the night, the two huddled together on the sand, talking about everything from their pasts, to their life goals.

Chuck even told Sarah about his time in the military, omitting the worst moments. Some of Chuck's stories made her laugh, while some made her cry. Sarah hugged Chuck close as he recalled certain moments, that caused him to blink away tears.

Sarah shared with Chuck the events that led to her break-up, and her downward spiral. She was amazed that Chuck didn't judge her. He offered an empathetic ear, and words of comfort.

As the sun rose over the vast Pacific Ocean, it dawned on the two they had talked all night. Sarah found herself resting her head on Chuck's shoulder, while he hugged her close to keep her warm. Chuck picked up right away that Sarah was very cold-natured.

Sarah felt warm and safe in Chuck's embrace. He was the first guy she had ever met that treated her like a lady, and not an object.

Chuck and Sarah both realized as dawn settled, they had never felt connected to anyone as they were to each other.

The night's epiphany was clear. Chuck and Sarah were not simply becoming best friends, they were falling in love.

Sarah whispered softly. "Chuck, I wish this night wouldn't end."

Chuck smiled solemnly. "Me neither. But, we always have today, and tomorrow to look forward to."

Sarah looked in Chuck's eyes, and placed a gentle hand on his cheek. "I have never met anyone like you."

Chuck looked longingly in Sarah's eyes. "I feel the same way about you. You are one of a kind."

Sarah leaned her face inches from Chuck's. "Is there anything in the friend handbook about us kissing?"

Chuck cupped Sarah's face in her hands. "I think it's affirmed in the second chapter."

Sarah chuckled softly. "Well, in that case…"

Sarah leaned forward and softly attached her lips to Chuck's. She gasped when Chuck gently took her in his arms, applying gentle pressure to her lips. Sarah gently sucked on Chuck's lower lip as he gently attached to her upper lip. The kiss was slow, and tender.

Chuck slowly broke the kiss, much to Sarah's shock, giving a quick, gentle kiss before pulling away. Sarah gasped slightly as she forced air into her lungs. She noticed Chuck do the same. Unlike other men who automatically crammed their tongue in Sarah's mouth, this was the first time Sarah experienced a loving, gentle kiss.

Sarah melted as she stared in Chuck's eyes. She noticed Chuck had a way of studying her eyes, so she let him see the deep affection she felt. Chuck smiled softly and caressed Sarah's cheek. Sarah closed her eyes and leaned her face into Chuck's gentle touch.

For Chuck, having this angel in his arms was a like a dream come true. He was completely enchanted by her.

Chuck whispered softly. "You are so beautiful."

Sarah opened her eyes and smiled. She had been called beautiful before, but to hear it spoken from Chuck, made her feel beautiful.

Sarah whispered with a slightly ragged breath. "Are you off today?"

Chuck smiled. "Yeah. Are you?"

Sarah nodded quickly. "We should really get some sleep."

Chuck nodded. "I agree."

Sarah took a breath, not wanting to part company with the man next to her. "Chuck…do you think…would you…can we just…go lay in a bed and you hold me?"

A stray tear slid down Sarah's cheek. Chuck gently cupped Sarah's cheek, and gently wiped away her tear with his thumb. "Absolutely."

Chuck slowly stood up and held out his hand. Sarah took his hand and the moment she was on her feet, she cupped Chuck's face and kissed him softly on his lips. Chuck rested his hands firmly in the small of Sarah's back. Sarah slowly ended the kiss and smiled.

Wow…he literally took my breath away! He is a great kisser!

Around an hour later, Chuck and Sarah were laying in Chuck's bed, with Sarah nestled in the crook of Chuck's neck. She draped her arm over Chuck's chest and wrapped her leg's into his. Sarah closed her eyes and sighed contently at how warm and safe she felt. Chuck held Sarah firmly, but gently.

Chuck changed into a pair of sweat pants and a T-shirt, while Sarah changed into one of Chuck's T-shirts, and a pair of PT shorts from his days in the military.

Chuck texted Ellie several times to let her know he was okay. When Ellie arrived home from shopping in the early afternoon, she peeked in at the sleeping couple. Ellie smiled at the view. Both were snoring softly, nestled in each other's arms.

As Ellie closed the door, she whispered. "Well, Chuck. I think a great girl found you."

A/N: FMTB is Fleet Marine Training Battalion. Prior to recent years, all Navy Corpsmen assigned to the Fleet Marine Force attended FMTB at Camp LeJeune. Today, there is a second FMTB school at Camp Pendleton. After serving one year with a Marine unit, Corpsmen who meet certain requirements, including examinations, qualify for the Enlisted Fleet Marine Force Warfare Specialist badge. Naval Construction Battalion personnel assigned to support Marine units may also qualify. There is also a Fleet Marine Force Warfare Officer badge for Navy officers, notably chaplains.

My wife being Mrs. Fashionista inspired Sarah's wardrobe ideas. Left up to me, and Sarah would be wearing a t-shirt and jeans! That's about the extent to my knowledge of the fashion world! LOL!
