Marian was a good three fourths of the way through her food when he said that he was with the prettiest woman on this side of Manhattan. She felt her cheeks turn red in a blush; but was it because of the alochol or was it because of his kind words. Sure, this wasn't the first time he had said something like that in the night but, you can't blame him for having that reaction. 

A smile moved across her full lips. She pushed her empty plate away and reached across the table placing her hand softly on top of his. "This has been a good night Robert and I'm glad I got to see this side of you. I think it would be good for us to put the past behind us and try and be friends."

With that she picked up her purse and stood up giving him another smile. "Seeing as I walked here. If I asked nicely would you walk me home or give me a ride?"
