MJ finished pinning up my hair when the door bell rang in Peter's apartment. MJ was just helping me get ready before she went out with her friend Louise. And Peter had a night lab.

"Now I want all the details tomorrow morning over coffee. Is that clear," she said in a funny demanding way.

"Don't worry I will. Thanks a billion for all your help today."

"No problem."

I answered the door seeing a handsome Harris dressed in a suit and tie.

"Wow, you look gorgeous," he said looking at me.

"You're not to bad yourself," I laughed as we started on our way.

We had a lovely dinner at new Italian restaurant in town. When we got to the show Harris spotted some family 'friends' before the show started.

"Let's go this way Eileen."

"But the door is right there," I said.

"There's some people over there that I'd rather not talk to right now."

"That makes me feel special," I said not noticing I said it outloud.

"Eileen, that's not it," he began to explain, "they just aren't very nice and I don't want them to ruin our evening."

But it was too late. They spotted us. A middle-aged couple came up to us with a fake smile.

"Why its Harris Brant I haven't seen you for months," said the man. The woman looked at me with her nose in the air.

"It has been awhile Mr. Strege," Harris replied.

The woman began to talk, "So is your cousin still trying to make it on her own without your father's help? You know he said he would help because she is like daughter to him."

I suppose she was talking about Betty. I kind of gave a short glare because I thought Betty was so nice.

Harris gave a slight sigh at the comment, "She is doing quite fine. I wish I had the same courage as she does."

I smiled at that, another point for Harris in my book.

The woman was a bit surprised at the answer, "And who is this."

"This is Eileen. She's my date tonight."

The man finally talked again, "Where did you two meet?"

I spoke up, "At the hospital. I'm work at the desk."

The woman began to talk again, "Oh, I see. So you and Michelle broke up? Was it cause you kept working at that hospital?"

Harris then had an angry tone at the woman, "Not that it is any of your business, but yes we did break up and there was more reasons than just the hospital."

She looked me up and down, "Well I hope that you and Eileen have better luck." They finally walked away and as they did I heard her say too bad that Harris is going out with anyone that puts out.

If Harris wasn't there I would have called her on her muttered comment, but since Harris didn't hear it, I left it alone.

"Who's Michelle," I asked as we started to walk to the door.

"She was just an ex-girlfriend. You know just ignore them. They don't know anything. Besides, tonight is all about you and me," he said smiling at me.

I felt better about the whole incident and decided to enjoy the rest of the night.
