Daniel followed the waiter to their table and seated Anna first. He couldn't take his eyes of her.
"This place is beautiful, how did you find it?" Anna asked him curiously.
"Uh well I could lie to you and say that I come here often and elaborate with some strange snooty story, but really," He smiled, "I just opened the phone book closed my eyes and pointed."
She laughed, "How many times did you have to do that?"
"Three." He smiled, "The first was a lawn care service."
"Do you even have lawn?" She smirked.
"Um I don't know I'm never home long enough to notice." They both laughed.
A waiter came over to them, "May I interest you in some wine?"
Daniel looked at Anna she smiled, "I'm fine just some ice tea would be great."
Daniel ordered a glass, "Do you not like italian wine?"
"No it's not that. I don't drink is all." She smiled and looked at the menu infront of her.
Daniel looked at her curiously, "If I may ask, is there a reason why?"
She looked up at him as a slight blush came to her face, "It's silly really, but I want to share my first glass of wine with my future husband on our wedding day."
Daniel was surprised. He'd heard many excuses for not drinking. Most of which were because of alcholism and tragedy. Hers was so optimistic, something that the world greatly needed, "It's not silly at all. It's very cherishable."
She smiled at him, "Thank you."
The waiter came back and they ordered leaving them considerable time to talk.
"So what is Egypt like?" Anna asked him.
"Egypt, well, Egypt is hot and sandy." He smiled and played with his fork, "And incredible. There's so much history there, so much there, that isn't."
"I bet, but it must've been so much fun though." She commented.
"Oh it was, my guides where icredible and just uncovering artifacts was so satisfying, why are we just talking about me?" He asked.
"I don't know, I thought we were just talking." Anna stated in a matter a fact way.
"Oh well, sorry I must be just paranoid, I haven't done this in a while." He looked at the table and began to fidget with is fork yet again.
"Be sure that you're not alone, I haven't been on a date since college." She laughed nervously.
"Speaking of college, what made you interested in dead languages?" Daniel would use anything to get the topic off of him.
"Um well it's some thing my parents kind of got me hooked on." She smiled, "When I was 12 my mom started teaching me Latin, and from there I just had a general couriosity of dead languages. So profession in it sounded great!"
Daniel's eyes smiled for him, "You know Latin fluently then?"
"Etiam." She smiled.
He laughed, "I see now why you were chosen for the program."
"Cur facio tu narro que?" She raised an eyebrow.
"I say that becuase what we deal with a lot of it derives from Latin." He explained.
"Oh right." She smiled.
The waiter presented them with their food and what conversation they were having quieted down.
Daniel glanced up from his food at Anna, she didn't appear to have touched it, "Is everything alright?"
She looked up slowly. The glow that was normaly around her seemed dimmed and she looked tired, but she smiled, "Oh I'm fine, just a little headache."
Concern flooded Daniel's face, "How long have you had it?"
"I don't know, why? Should I be concerned?" She looked at him confused.
"Well considering what you've been these last few weeks, but I wouldn't worry about it. Just if it persist get it checked out." He reached for her hand, "Promise me you'll take care of yourself."
She smiled at his concern, "I promise, lets just enjoy the rest of the evening."
"Alright, lets." Daniel smiled, but couldn't get the feeling that she wasn't telling him something to go away.
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT I REALLY DON"T SPEAK LATIN SO I"M SORRY IF IT"S WRONG!!!! Just thought i'd put that in there, hope you guys are enjoying it!
