Coupley

He picks her up at the apartment, and just as she predicted he loved her new dress. She leans in to adjust his tie, even though it was fine in the first place. "You don't look so bad yourself," a quick kiss before he takes her arm. They sit close in the cab, knees touching and fingers intertwined. "I thought we were going to a restaurant uptown?"

"Change in plans, but you'll like it, I promise," They get out of the cab on Broadway.

"Les Miserables?" she says in a perfect French accent. "Barney I didn't know you were into theatre, you're just full of surprises," she's smiling. They have great seats, he holds her hand the whole time and by the end she had already cried six times.

"Turns out you have a soft spot, don't you Sherbatsky?" he smirks.

"I'm full of surprises too," she notices that instead of getting a cab they're simply walking up the street. "Where are we going?"

"You'll see, just keep walking," he buys her roasted almonds on the way since they skipped dinner. They finally arrive at Central Park, her hand still in his, an inerasable smile on her face.

"Central Park! Oh Barney this is just perfect! I wish I'd worn other shoes though, these were not made to walk this much,"

"But they're really sexy," he smiles and she bites her lip, it makes the shoes worth it. He puts his arm around her as they walk down the paths in the dark, she would normally worry about getting lost, but even in her uncomfortable heels she'd walk until dawn if it meant they were together. As soon as she yawns he offers to get a cab, she nods sleepily and they exit the park. She falls asleep on his shoulder on the way. He pays the driver and starts to carry her inside; she wakes up in the elevator.

"Aw, Barney, you know you could have just woke me up," she wraps her arms around his neck and smiles, her eyes barely open.

"You're cute when you sleep," he kisses her forehead before she rests it on his shoulder again. She already has some pajamas at his place, and she brushes her teeth before sitting by him on the couch.

"I had a really nice time tonight," she says, yawning. They put on a favorite movie, but she's asleep in his lap ten minutes into it. He carries her to the bedroom and tucks her in.

"Good night, Sparkles," he kisses her and she smiles.
