"Ice Cream Date"

After twenty years of marriage, Theo never failed to find a way to surprise his wife. After having met during University and being properly vetted by her parents, Theo had made sure that each date they went on was unique and memorable, whether it was a museum, a gala, or just spending time alone with each other.

For their 20th wedding anniversary, Theo decided that a trip to New York would be money well spent. After having visited a matinee Broadway show, and a delicious dinner at a highly recommended restaurant that refused to post their prices on the menus, the two of them headed back to the Plaza Hotel where they were staying for the weekend. In the most lavish hotel suite they had, Theodore directed Hermione to the couch in the lounge area, a prearranged chilled bucket with champagne sitting on a doily on the side table.

As Hermione took the bottle out to inspect it, the ice in the bucket clinked merrily. Theo grabbed the ice box set in their attached kitchenette, peeling back the lid to reveal two gorgeously presented ice cream sundaes. Grinning to himself, Theo delicately lifted the two glasses and brought them out to where his wife had decoratively draped herself. Joining her on the couch, he set both glasses on the low coffee table before them.

Hermione laughed. "Where are the spoons, Theo?" she asked teasingly. With a grin, Theo pulled out two spoons from his pocket from where he had stashed them earlier, making his wife laugh again before he held one out to her.

With a wide grin, Hermione snatched the spoon out of his hand and contemplated the two identical ice cream sundaes. "I waaaaant….this one!" she declared, pointing to the one on the left. "It looks bigger!"

"They're the same size," Theo pointed out, pulling the ice cream on the right towards him.

"Well it looks bigger to me," she restated. She held her spoon out to him for them to clang the flatware together in a cheers motion before they both dug in. Hermione's appreciative moan filled the room.

"Oh, I can't wait to see what you pick for our date next month," she stated in between bites. With his grin hidden behind his own sundae, Theo just laughed.

"You'll just have to wait and see."
