Aliyah grinned and raised en eyebrow at his order this morning. She bit her lip and listened to Gary's order as well.  She turned back to Duncan and smiled. "Good to see someone is perkier this morning than you were yesterday.  I would hate to think that I failed to perform better than the hot tub and massage chair in helping you get good sleep."  She teased before heading back to put in their order.  

Aliyah went back to work still chuckling to herself over the change in Duncan this morning.  It seemed last night had been good for both of them.  She stacked their plates down her arms and carried them carefully back to their table.  She set them down and glanced over the table to make sure they had everything they needed.  She started to walk away, but stopped and turned a little to look at Duncan.  "Dinner tonight?"  She asked.  

Her tone was casual, not like formally asking for a date, but more like the relaxed tone of someone asking a friend or long term partner.  It was a tone that said they were pretty sure it was ok, but I am running it by you to make sure you didn't make other plans while we were apart for a few hours. 

She had a few things she HAD to do today.  She needed to do some laundry, and run to the grocery store, she was at the 'What can I make with green beens and cake mix' stage of needing groceries.  Not that she cooked a lot, but sometimes it was nice to not have to think too hard when making something to eat.
