A/N: So, I'm sorry to anyone reading this who has been looking for an update but I've been busy with school getting ready to start and working bunches. It's been harder for me to continue this story than I thought it would be. I've been losing confidence not in my writing perhaps but where this show is going and it has affected my writing process :(

Here's the last tidbit from Chapter 6 for a refresher. Enjoy!

-- Two Weeks Later --

Daniel decided that he and Betty would work late the night of their "date" and then they would just head out to dinner together. Betty made her way into his office to see if he was ready to go.

"Daniel, c'mon our reservation is in fifteen minutes. We'll be late if we don't leave now."

"Right. Betty listen. Why don't you go ahead and take a town-car, and I'll be five minutes behind you. I've got to run downstairs and talk to my mom about her next issue."

"Are you sure? I don't mind waiting."

"Yeah, yeah. We wouldn't want to miss out on our reservations would we?

Betty smiled and made her way to the lobby where her driver was already waiting for her. He opened the door for her and she slid into the backseat. She placed her purse next to her and felt something lying next to it; a pink gerbera daisy.

Back at the office, Daniel called Henry's cell phone to let him know she was on the way.

"Henry, she should be there in about ten minutes. Good luck."

Henry placed his cell phone back into his pocket. This was it. The first time he would see Betty in over two and half months. He sat there nervously bouncing his leg up and down repeatedly, occasionally watching the door waiting to catch a glimpse of her smiling face.

Betty entered the restaurant. She gave the waiter her name and then followed him to an oversized booth in the back. Betty approached the table to see someone already sitting there.

"Henry?"

--

Henry lowered his menu and looked up at the woman he had fallen so deeply in love with for the very first time in three months now. A smile broke across his face; the one that made his entire face change – in a good way. His eyes were so full of joy. He was so happy to see Betty. Betty however had a very different look. She looked surprised, suddenly quite nervous, and a little scared. Henry jumped up from his side of the booth. He offered her his hand and tried to help her into her side. Despite how much she wanted to reach out and grab his hand, she decided against it. Her hands were all clammy and her heart was pounding. Henry withdrew his hand slightly embarrassed and made his way back to his side of the booth. Both sat there not knowing what to say, and if they did figure something out to say, who would speak first.

"Betty. You look great. I'm so happy to…" Henry started.

Betty blurted out "I have to use the restroom. I'll be back." She hastily made her way towards the restroom. Henry watched her leave the table wondering if this had been a good idea after all.

"Welcome to 879 Taco. My name is Matt. May I take your order?"

"Sure. I'll just have a fajita burrito without onions please."

"And for your girlfriend sir? Do you know what she would like?" Matt asked.

"Oh, um. Right. I think she will have a burrito bowl. Oh and two waters please."

"Certainly sir, I will be right back with your order."

"Thank you."

Henry sat there at the table with his hands folded together mentally kicking himself in the head for not better thinking this out. Here, he was, just trying to tell Betty that he had moved back, that he would be returning to accounting at Meade, and lastly that he wanted to start his life with her.

Betty made her way back to the table and could be found staring at her destination, or rather the man sitting at her destination. Wondering what he was doing here, and her mind not on her surroundings, she clumsily ran into a very busy waiter and knocked the tray out his hands. Henry looked up to see 

Betty on the floor and ran over to see if she was alright. He helped her up and fixed her crooked glasses. They sat there for a minute looking into each other's eyes.

"Well, we are going to have to work on this no knocking trays out of waiter's hands thing a little bit more the next time we eat out." Henry said lightening the mood.

Betty softly giggled remembering the "Butterfly Incident" at the Sushi Bar. Henry smiled, delighted to see that perhaps all hope was not lost. They made their way back to their table Henry's hand slightly around her waist, making sure she was okay. He continued.

"I hope you don't mind. I went ahead and ordered for the both of us."

"Oh, no. That's not a problem. " Betty said, and smiled in his direction. Something she hadn't done in a long time. In all honesty, she wasn't sure why she was here with Henry, and not with her boss to talk about a raise, but she didn't care, it felt right.

"Betty, I need to tell you something…" Henry started again.

Then their waiter came back with their order. They sat there watching their meal being put in front of them. Betty decided to dig in to her meal instead of pausing for any more awkward moments between the lovelorn couple. Henry reached over and put his hand on top of Betty's.

"Betty. This is killing me. You have to be wondering why I'm here. Right?"

Betty nodded.

"Betty, I moved back to New York. I would have never imagined it, but apparently Charlie had been dating Gabe Farkas for the past year, and they just got married last weekend. Isn't that great? But Gabe wanted Charlie to move back here, and Charlie knew I wanted to be there for Nate, so here we are; one big happy family." Henry said a little short of breath. He got it all out in the open. He relaxed a little, and watched her to gauge her reaction to this new found situation.

"Wait! What? Dr. Farkas and Charlie…. Are married?" Betty asked.

"And I moved back to New York…" Henry eagerly reminded her.

"Wow. It's just so much to take in at once."

More than you know Henry thought.

"Betty. I'm also coming back to work at Meade. I probably won't be working for MODE anymore, but I just thought you should know."

"Thanks Henry, is that why I'm having dinner with you instead of getting my raise?" She asked jokingly.

"Well, kind of. There is still one more thing we need to talk about Betty. But do you wanna get out of here? Maybe, take a walk. Enjoy the fresh air?" He looked at her hopefully with his soft brown eyes.



Betty remembered her talk with Christina from earlier today.

"You know he loves you. Give him a call…"

Now here she was sitting across from him.

"Sure. I'd love to." Betty responded.

Henry picked up the tab and followed Betty out the door to the city streets where the sun was on the verge of setting.
