Brian and Andrew had been dressed and waiting to go to supper for over half an hour but the women were still getting ready.
"How long do they need?" Andrew asked.
"You know women," Brian said smiling.
Colleen and Sarah had just finished putting their dresses on and were now fixing their hair. Minutes later there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Colleen shouted knowing perfectly well who it would be.
Brian and Andrew walked in to the women's room.
Andrew asked with a smile, "when do you ladies think you will be ready? Only we're getting a little hungry waiting for you, we might have to go and leave you two here."
Both girls let out a little giggle.
"We will only be another 5 minutes, you can wait here if you wish," Colleen said.
Just as she said, 5 minutes later they had finished their hair and they were out the door.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::
They pulled up outside the restaurant; Brian and Andrew climbed down and helped their sweethearts down.
They walked in to the restaurant and Andrew approached the host point.
"Hello sir," the waiter greeted.
"Hello, table for Doctor Cook," Andrew said.
"Yes right this way," the waiter informed after glancing down at the reservations sheet.
Another waiter appeared at the host point, and greeted Brian, "Hello sir."
"Hello, table booked for Cooper, Brian Cooper."
The waiter quickly checked the sheet finding a reservation for Cooper. The waiter gave a smile and replied, "Yes right this way."
Sarah and Brian followed the gentleman to their table.
Brian pulled out a chair for Sarah, who gladly accepted. Brian sat himself down in the other chair.
The waiter was holding a bottle of champagne and asked, "champagne sir?"
Brian said "thank you" and with a nod of his head the champagne was poured.
The waiter held out the bottle to Sarah and asked, "Ma'am, champagne?"
"Yes, thank you," Sarah said.
Brian handed Sarah a menu. They both studied it for a while, and then the waiter appeared.
"What can I get for you sir?" The waiter asked.
"I think I'll have the soup to start with and then the chicken to follow," Brian said.
"Oh that sounds good, I'll have the same," Sarah told the waiter.
"Very well," the waiter said as he left the table.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::
Colleen and Andrew had just finished ordering their meals.
"So did you enjoy yourself today?" Andrew asked.
"Yes, thank you," Colleen said.
"Do you think we got everything we need for the homestead?" Andrew asked.
"Yes, I think so," Colleen said. "You make me so happy Andrew," Colleen finished.
"Anything that makes you happy, I want to give you," Andrew said with a smile.
Colleen just smiled back at him.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::
"Thank you for today Brian," Sarah said.
"You're welcome," Brian said.
"I'm glad we could spend some time together alone," Sarah said with a smile as she took hold of Brian's hands.
"Me too," Brian replied.
The waiter then arrived with their soup, he placed the soup in front of Sarah then Brian and simply said, "enjoy."
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::
At the same time the waiter came to Colleen and Andrew's table, he placed the plate of escargot in front of Andrew and a bowl of soup in front of Colleen.
"Oh, I don't know how you can eat those slimy little things," Colleen said with a quiet laugh.
"They are real nice; would you like to try one?" Andrew asked.
Colleen laughed and said, "no thank you, I think I'll stick to my soup; it's much safer."
Andrew smiled at her then continued to eat.

As the evening progressed it was time to return to the hotel.
Brian stopped thee waiter and asked, "can I have the bill please?"
"Certainly sir," the waiter said.
Moments later the waiter returned with the bill, placing it on the table.
"Thank you," Brian said with a slight nod of his head.
Brian glanced at the bill noticing the total was a little higher than he had expected.
Sarah saw the look on Brian's face and asked, "something wrong?"
"Oh no, everything's fine," Brian said with a smile.
He just had enough money with him so he placed it on the small dish with the bill. He stood up and took Sarah' hand leading her to the door.
The man by the door raised his hat and said, "goodbye sir, ma'am. Please, come again."
"Goodnight," Sarah replied to the gentleman.
Brian helped Sarah on to the streetcar and then climbed up himself.
When they arrived at the hotel, Brian escorted Sarah up to her room. When they reached the room Sarah asked, "would you like to come in for a while?"
"Um.I don't know if I should," Brian said unsure.
"Only for a moment," Sarah paused then finished, "please."
"Sure," Brian said giving in.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::
Colleen and Andrew were on their way back to the hotel in a streetcar. Andrew put his arm around Colleen and said, "Happy Valentine's Day."
"You too," Colleen said smiling.
"Did you have a good day?" Andrew asked.
"I had a brilliant day because I spent it with you," Colleen said.
Andrew smiled and then gave her a small kiss on the lips.
"I love you," Andrew said.
"I love you too," Colleen said.
"Can you believe it? Our wedding is only 2 months away," Andrew said.
"Yes I know, I can't wait, I want so much to be your wife and to spend a lot of time together like today," Colleen said.
"Neither can I," he said holding her tighter.
"Would you like a drink of water Brian?" Sarah asked.
"No thank you," Brian replied politely while he stood about nervous
"Well then sit down," Sarah encouraged.
Brian looked around but there was no seat, he hesitated for a moment but then sat on the end of one of the beds.
Sarah put her purse down on the vanity and then came and sat beside Brian.
Brian was a little uncomfortable at first, he couldn't understand how Sarah was so forward unlike other girls Brian knew, after all she was the first one to declare her feelings and she would always climb on to his lap for a kiss and cuddle.
Sarah waited a while but couldn't control her feelings and placed a kiss on Brian's lips.
Brian was only too happy to give her a kiss, as the kiss deepened Sarah moved her arm around Brian's back. As the kiss continued Brian's hand was caressing Sarah's face and Sarah encouraged Brian to lay back down never leaving his lips.
Colleen and Andrew were walking up the stairs in the hotel, when they reached Colleen's room she opened the door to walk in.
Brian and Sarah jumped straight up off the bed and separated, Brian looked to his sister who was in shock and immediately tried to explain. "Oh Colleen, it wasn't how it looked, we were just kissin'."
Colleen remained speechless while Andrew had a slight grin on his face.
Andrew decided to interrupt, "come on Brian lets get back to our room."
Brian walked by his sister and out of the door while Andrew placed a goodnight kiss on a still speechless Colleen's cheek.
Brian and Andrew were both gone now so Colleen walked over to her bed and sat down. Sarah remained stood up not knowing what to say.
Colleen asked still in shock, "so how long has this been going on?"
"Nothing has been going on, it's just," Sarah paused ready to admit, "it's me."
"What do you mean?" Colleen asked.
"I can't help myself, when I am around him I let my feeling's take over and I can't control myself, I love him so much but I wouldn't do anything other than kissing until after I was married," Sarah said strongly.
"Oh, well that's good to hear," Colleen hesitated for a second some what embarrassed to say this, "so you haven't.you haven't.." Colleen couldn't finish.
Sarah picked up on what she was saying and quickly replied "Of course not, it wouldn't be proper."
Colleen gave a small smile.
"Did you know it was me who confessed my feelings first?" Sarah asked.
"Really? I didn't know that," Colleen said.
"Yep, you see Brian is a little shy and he likes to take things slow, he wouldn't even think about doing anything like that without being married," Sarah said.
"Then why were you both laid on the bed?" Colleen asked still a little puzzled.
Sarah looked around the room and then back to Colleen and said, "do you see a chair in this room?"
Colleen glanced around the room noticing that there were no chairs only the beds, "I guess I can accept that," she said.
Sarah began, "so you won't..."
Knowing what Sarah was saying she decided to finish her sentence off for her, "no Sarah, I won't tell Dr Mike, we don't want her getting' worried over this."
Deciding to change the subject Sarah said, "so there are only 2 more months to your weddin', are you getting excited?"
"Yes I can't wait, the time just seems to be going on forever," Colleen said. "Speaking of which I was wonderin' if you would consider being one of my bridesmaids," Colleen said.
"Why, I would be honoured," Sarah said with a smile.
"Good, I have already asked Rebecca to be my Maid of Honour and Katie is going to be the flower girl," Colleen said with a smile. "I want my family standing there with me as I get married, Rebecca is my sister in law, Katie is my little sister and you're practically my sister in law as well, judging by the way things are progressing with you and Brian."
This caused Sarah to blush, she was happy to discover that Colleen regarded her as family; this told her that she and Brian would make it.
