Rachael and Shane had started their winding tour of Central Park by first checking out the Dairy and then moseying down the Mall. They had split up from Dana and Alice in the hopes of enjoying some private moments. They had spent the time by actually talking. Rachael had a way of drawing Shane out like no one had ever done before. Because of this, Shane felt a freedom when talking to Rachael that allowed her to open up and be honest which was resulting in some of those well built walls around Shanes heart to start to tumble down. They both got a little hungry and ducked out of the park to a nice diner along 5th Avenue for a quick bite that turned into something longer as they both lost track of time. They talked about everything and nothing. Recounting stories of their youth and Shane sharing her version of what a family had or had not been. Both surprised at the truths the other could elicit from their souls. Finally noticing the waitress was staring at them with a look which could kill, Rachael suggested to Shane that they move along.

Hey youre right Shane says as she gets up and grabs the tab. Walking over to the cashier Shane smiles at her and gives her a ten to give to the waitress after they leave. Rachael walks up behind Shane Hey Shane get me one of those bags of M&Ms will you?

Sure which one you want the plain or peanuts? Shane asks and then just smirks as she already knew the answer.

As they exit the diner they head back into the park in the direction of the Bethesda Fountain. Finding a park bench along the path she sits down and pulls Rachael along side of her.

Oh I love this feeling of just meandering around. So what color do you want? Shane asks as she opens the bag.

Well I always heard the green ones will make you pregnant so I dont want one of those. Rachael

Really, so what do the red ones mean? Shane asks.

Oh the red ones are for passion you know fiery red. Rachael answers by whispering in Shanes ear.
