It had to be a record for the two women were, changed and ready to go in thirty minutes. They decided on a little Italian place down the street from Dana’s place. They could have easily walked but both women were not in the mood for that. Dana pulled right up to the front of the restaurant.

“Wait here Al?”

“Why.”

“Because I’m trying to be romantic by dropping you off so you don’t have to walk from the car to the door, so just go with it okay?”

“Aww you’re such a sweetheart sometimes.”

“I know I try.”

Dana took the car to the lot. She took the first empty spot that she saw. When she got of the car she noticed that the car parked right next to hers looked just like her parents.

“God I hope it isn’t theirs.”

Dana went against her gut feeling, which was to grab Alice and run away. She took a breath and gained her composure. She met Alice at the door. They walked in and it was clear that the restaurant was in booming it didn’t look like there were any empty tables.

“This place is pretty busy tonight Dane.”

Dana didn’t hear Alice she was too busy looking around the place hoping that her accusations weren’t true. As if her worst nightmare had come true there sat her mother and father only a few tables away from the hostess podium.

“Dana!”

“Hmm? What?”

“I said it was rather busy in here.”

“Yea I think maybe we should go somewhere else. I’ll go get the car.”

“Dana hold on we don’t even know how long the wait is.”

“I’m sure it’s going to be long, so I’ll get the car and we can go to another place.”

“We’ll let’s just see how long the wait is?”

“I don’t know Al?”

“Dana I’m getting the feeling that you don’t want to be out with me?”

“God Alice its not you.”

“Then what is it, you seemed like you really wanted to come here and then we get here and you don’t want to be here.”

Dana saw her mom coming and knew it was too late for explanations.

“Dana you are going to answer me?”
