They were out and about, eating after watching the play.
"It was trivial truly, Juliet and Romeo could have avoided it all with better communication." Ja'far said in between reluctant bites of pasta. "Tragic love story, yeah right, it was stupid."
"Ja'far, don't say that it, it is a tragic love story, star-crossed lovers trapped in dishonesty, unallowed to express to those aroud them for fear. Haaa" she sighed. "You're just jealous that they have a more interesting love life then you." Haelean said playfully as she pointed her pasta covered fork in his direction.
"Oh so true," he said sarcasticaly. Yet, he still didn't truly enjoy this evening out. Yes, the dinner was delicious and Haelean was with him, but he'd prefer to be in his office. The comforting couch and moldy books gave a nice, at home feel. He did his work there, he met her there, they KISSED there. His version of getting away from work was talking to her.
"Ja'far... JA' FARRRRRRRRRRR!" Haelean yelled at her snowy haired compaion as she frantically moved her fork to and fro, spilling spaghetti all over his white shirt. He didn't respond until he felt the piping hot pasta sauce seep through.
She would realize later how this would benefit her.
