A/N: Thanks to everyone who was so nice and reviewed! I've been a bit hormonal recently and they really lifted my spirits. It's because of reviews from all you guys that got this chapter up this week. Hope you like it, and thanks again.
After a few minutes of silence, they let go of each other and Daniel helped Cassie put the bracelet on her slender wrist.
A few moments later, Janet came gracefully and slowly down the stairs. She was surprised to find Daniel and Cassie smiling, 'Huh,' she thought. 'Maybe I was wrong about Cassie interrogating him.'
Daniel got up and stood in awe of the woman coming down the stairs. 'Wow, why in the whole universe did she choose me? I'll never be able to understand that. God, I don't deserve her.'
The couple stood, staring lovingly into each other's eyes for a few minutes until Cassie broke the silence.
"You guys really should get going, or else you're going to miss your reservations," Cassie said happily. "Oh, and Mom? You don't need to get home in time for my little party. I called everyone I invited and moved it until tomorrow."
"Tomorrow's a school night, Cass." Daniel said as he looked at his watch, again checking the time.
Janet couldn't help but smile. "Cassie's a senior this year, and tomorrow is her graduation day," she turned her attention again to her daughter. "Thank you sweetie. I'll try not to be very late. What are you planning on doing tonight?"
"Oh, I don't know. I'll probably just order a pizza and call Jessie, Alex and Martha – you know, see if they want to watch a movie with me."
Janet gave her daughter a quick hug, "Don't do anything I wouldn't do," she said after hearing the name of Cassie's boyfriend, best friend and her boyfriend.
"Come on Janet, we're going to be late!" Daniel called from the doorway. With a quick kiss on the cheek for Cassandra, Janet was out the door.
"So, Daniel, where are we going?" Janet asked ten minutes into their drive. Daniel pulled over and took out a piece of cloth from his pocket. "What's that for?"
"I want you to be surprised when we get to our final destination," Daniel responded as he tied the cloth around Janet's eyes.
"Meany! You know I hate surprises!"
"Yeah, but you'll love this one, and if you don't you can poke me with all the big needles you want at my next physical."
"I'm going to hold you to that."
"You should, I really want you to enjoy tonight. Now be quiet so I can drive."
"Napoleonic power monger," Janet whispered under her breath.
Daniel looked at her with a grin on his face that he knew she could feel. "With that kind of attitude, you may not get the presents I bought for you."
Janet grew ridged with anticipation. "Okay, I'll be good."
"Wonderful," Daniel said as he started the car again and pulled out onto the road. He hoped this night would end the way he envisioned.
P.S. Sorry it's kind of short and it's been a while since I updated. I'm also sorry that not a lot happens in this chapter. If you review and tell me what you want to happen, then I'll see what I can do about updating sooner.
