Things that are even better when done with a friend: manicures and pedicures.
Tim chuckled as he looked across at Abby.
This had all been her idea. She knew of his trips for manicures, and had decided to tag along to see what all the fuss was about. Naturally, she had decided to give it a go and was enjoying the pampering.
It was nice to relax with her. Although they were polar opposites in some regards, they got on very well. They both worked disturbingly long hours and took every opportunity to enjoy themselves outside of the Navy Yard. And if they could do it together, it made the experience even more worthwhile.
He caught the smile she sent his way and returned it. This was very nice.
"We should do this again," she decided, even though she had yet to finish this time.
"Evening's not over yet," he pointed out. "We could see a movie or find somewhere nice for dinner."
"There aren't any decent movies on at the moment," she whined.
"Well, I know a beautiful little restaurant a few blocks from here," he admitted. "It does a better macaroni cheese than my mother."
Abby's eyes lit up. "You'd better not tell her that," she smirked.
"It's true," he replied. "I've begged them to give me the recipe to no avail."
"Bet I could get it," Abby offered. "Twenty bucks."
He considered his options. He would be happy to lose to get that recipe. "Deal," he smiled.
