7 p.m. – 8 p.m.
Sam was nearly ready as she out the final touches to her make up she though about what she was doing. She had been waiting for this night for the past three years and now it was finally happening. Her stomach was cramping and she felt so sick she couldn't imagine how she was possibly going to be able to manage dinner. She finished getting ready and stood back to admire her work in mirror. As she did the door bell rang.
"How is that possible?" she thought, "he can never seem to turn up for work on time but he arrived for a date 10 minutes early!!!"
As Sam walked down the stairs she never felt more nervous, she opened the door and her stomach rolled again, there he was Phil Hunter, he was perfect.
"Well hello DS Hunter!!" Sam could feel herself uncontrollably flirting with Phil
"DS Nixon, WOW!" He replied, this made Sam melt Phil never referred to her using her work name but she really liked it. "
"What's wrong never seen a girl in a dress before?" Sam continued her flirtatious behaviour with a soft smile.
"Course I have but never looking at hot as you!" Sam could feel herself blushing at Phil's comment.
"Come on lets go!" She brushed past Phil giving herself goose pimples.
Phil was taking her to an Italian in town, about at 20 minute drive from Sam's house. The journey seemed to take forever, they sat in silence for most of the way before Phil spoke:
"Good result today, I am so pleased you are safe" He looked over at her and made her blush again.
"I have you to thank for that without you I could be… I could be…" Sam could feel herself welling up,
"Hey, so I didn't mean to upset you, just forget about it, nothing happened you are safe, I am going to make sure it stays that way, I'm just sorry I couldn't stop it before it happened. Let have a good evening yea!" He winked at her again and Sam's heart flipped. They pulled up outside the restaurant and parked, as they went to get out of the car Sam grabbed Phil's hand:
"Thanks Phil, not just for today but for everything if really means a lot to me" Sam smiled as she felt herself blushing. They paused for a minute holding hands before walking into the restaurant.
