Nathan

It had been a long day and Nathan should have been exhausted but instead he was pacing around the room with more energy built up than ever before. He was finally going on a date with Audrey. I mean he thought it was a date, but she never said date so now he wasn't so sure and that made him more nervous. He didn't know what he should wear, how he should act or even what he should say.

He had dated before but it was different with Audrey. He could feel her touch. But it wasn't just that, there was something about her that he was just drawn to and he couldn't explain it. The physical touch was amazing but she just seemed to understand him on another level and he felt like he could tell her anything.

As he got ready he couldn't stop thinking about the case and the Trouble they had solved. He had saw his dad but Duke also killed someone which made everything much worse. He knew he couldn't trust Duke but Audrey always saw the good in people and she wanted to see that in Duke even though Nathan didn't believe it was there anymore. He would try his best to keep an eye on Duke but that wasn't the worse part of the Trouble. His dad had told him that he couldn't love Audrey that she was too important but Nathan didn't understand what that had to do with anything. How was him loving her such a bad thing and how could that effect the town. He didn't want to stop feeling whatever he felt for Audrey and not even his father could make him stop. But he would keep one promise to his dad he would protect Audrey no matter the cost.

So he stopped pacing around picked out a nice white button up and his favorite jeans. He grabbed his keys and headed out the door. He wasn't going to let anything or anyone get in the way of his date with Audrey. He was going to step up be confident and show her the great man he was. He would put everything that had happened in the past 24 hours out of his mind and just focus on him and Audrey.

Audrey

A fire, some candles, and romantic music was she going overboard? She didn't know what this officially was but she wasn't going to hold back anymore. If this was going to be a date she was going to go all out. She didn't want to hide her feelings anymore. To be honest she didn't know what she felt for Nathan exactly she just knew she had strong feelings for him.

When she kissed him she thought she would have regretted it but it actually made her want him more. She felt something when she kissed him that made her feel safe and warm. She wanted to feel that again but still Nathan was a hard person to read and she didn't know exactly how he felt.

To be honest she had butterflies and she couldn't remember the last time she had felt like this. She walked around making some final inspections. The pancakes were almost ready, the wine was set up and she had finally put her heals on. Even though she hated heals but she wanted to look her best and she knew she would end up taking them off under the table anyway.

It had been a crazy day and now that Duke had killed someone she didn't know what to think. She knew it wasn't really his fault because the guy walked into his knife but it still happened and it was a shock. She knew Nathan was furious had Duke but deep down she knew Duke wasn't a bad person and that he wouldn't kill people on purpose. But still she would have to watch out for him to protect him from himself and others.

She tried to put all that out of her mind because tonight was about her and Nathan. They wouldn't talk about the Troubles or cases or work or Duke or Haven. They would block out everything and just have a nice dinner date. Or breakfast dinner date, she wasn't even sure what to call it since they were having pancakes.

Audrey finally heard a knock at the she couldn't help but smile. She couldn't believe how excited she was for this. It was just a date she had to keep reminding herself of that. She straightened herself up and fixed her hair and headed for the door with a spring in her step excited for the date to finally begin.

"Nathan, you're early."

He was slightly early but she wasn't mad that he was. She took a deep breath and slowly opened the door ready for whatever the night would bring.
