At quarter till nine, Martin was driving down the street. He was about to pick up his date, Angela.

As the time past, Martin realized that he was alone. This might have been his only chance to think by himself. What was he doing? He was about to have a new relationship when he was not completely over Sam. Was this right for him? Was this new perspective honest for Samantha? Will this be fair for Angela if he went on a date with her?

Martin was knocking at Angela's door. He hoped that he would get over his past regression and work on his future developments. He comprehended that the only way to move on was to take it step by step. His first step was to go on a simple date with an old friend.

When the door opened, Martin was stunned at what he saw. Angela was in a beautiful casual red dress, which brought out her dazzling brown hair.

"Wow!" Martin said speechless.

"Wow yourself." Angela responded.

They both laughed and then Martin leaned in to kiss her.

"Aren't you supposed to kiss me after we finish the date?" Angela asked.

"Well I can't help myself. You're just so beautiful!" Martin insisted.

"Well you're not so bad yourself." Angela said and Martin kissed her.

Martin smiled as he led her to his car, "Well Angela Beil, I promise you a great night to remember."

Martin and Angela were in a beautiful romantic restaurant eating their delicious dinner.

"Isn't this a little too luxurious?" Angela asked concerned.

"Yeah, isn't this the imaginative restaurant you wanted?" Martin questioned.

"It's too imaginative. I didn't want anything you couldn't afford." Angela recommended.

"Well you're worth it." Martin said and Angela blushed.

"So… what have you been doing these past years?" Angela wondered.

"I work for the FBI." Martin informed.

"Yes, you already told me that, but isn't there anything more?" She persisted.

"Well if you want me to give more detail, before I worked for the FBI I was with dealing with the white collar crime. Then realized I needed a challenge. So I went to missing person unit for the FBI. At first everyone was skeptical of me, but then I earned my respectable spot."

"Let me make this clear for you. I want to know about the woman." She stated.

Martin was astonished. This was the first night he was not supposed to talk about Samantha. "What do you mean?" He uttered.

"The woman you clearly mentioned when you were intoxicated at my bar. You know the woman who you loved and then broke your heart after she told you she was going to have an abortion to your unborn baby." She reminded.

For a second, Martin was going to give a long impractical explanation, but then he reached a different outlook.

He reached across the table so he could hold Angela's hands. He deeply looked into her eyes, and said "Angela, do you know why I asked you out?… I asked you out not because I was trying to get back at that woman. I did not ask you out because I was vulnerable. Look at me. I am in my early thirties, and I am still single, no kids. I asked you out because I needed to move on."

"So I'm some kind of reward if you move on." Angela complained.

"No. Not at all… You are not a reward. I do not expect to when a prize if I move on with my life... You are goal. You are a goal the represents growth. With all my past relationships, I was always isolated to be someone I'm not. But when I am with you, I know that I can be whom I am. Angela you are my inspiration. When things got tough for you, you didn't give up. You moved on. You inspired me to reach an achievement. "

Angela just smiled because she was pleased with his answer.

"Angela, would you like to have a fresh start with me." Martin said.

"What do you mean?"

"Let's make it official. I want to officially be your boyfriend." He responded.

Angela smiled, "Let's make it official." They signed their deal with candle light kiss.

Martin meant every word he said to Angela. He wanted to move on. He wanted to move on with Angela. He wanted to fall in love with Angela and no one else.
