"Dinner?" I repeated weakly

"Yes," he laughed "It’s what most boyfriends do every once in a while"

"Don’t sound so enthusiastic!"

"Sorry, just been busy"

"I see Well, I wanted to celebrate my promotion"

"Promotion?"

"Yeah"

"At the Wall Street Journal?"

"So dinner and drinks?"

"Sure"

"Maybe we can go back to ht "And see where the night takes us"

"I guess so" I bit back a sigh This was getting harder and harder
