Subject: .a.perfect.date.from.me.to.you. [.to:erica.]

The night wasn’t all that new. The atmosphere had exchanged its light canvas for something dark with very little luminescence awhile back. It was 10:03 pm exactly, Owen noted -- as his dark eyes ‘tore way from Erica who was standing before him, and drifted down to watch the glowing numbers that pulsed ‘cross the face of his Timex watch. Everything was perfect, so far… The stars were glowing confidently up above their heads and the weather, well, it was clear and the only evidence that a storm of any type might follow later that night, was a soothing warm breeze that was caressing the world ‘round them.10:06 now, his watch reminded him. He didn’t know why at that very moment, but something within him was whispering that he had to hurry… As if there were some moment ahead of him, that he had to catch. Some perfect moment. Owen’s broad hands were clamped tightly over Erica’s eyes, in order to prevent her from seeing their location just yet… Without him even knowing it, a quiet smile had crept up onto his lips as these moments, and the ones to follow – completely consumed him. Tilting his face into the wind, he looked at the bleak and somewhat spooky wooden structure before him. At night, and with soft, glowy, lamp-light seeping through it’s wooden planks, the Barn looked more inviting then any other time Owen had seen it… And that was exactly how he had wanted it to look; better then always. Night changes everything, Owen thought, as he took a sudden – and meaningless glance at the rest of his surroundings. Finally, he tilted his face downwards to rest closely beside Erica’s. His lips almost touching her ear, he whispered, “I wanted to take you somewhere that you loved… And I wanted to take you on a real date… A perfect one… And so, here we are.” Slowly, he let his fingers open so that she could see where he had taken her. When his hands had been pulled free of covering her eyes and were resting softly on her abdomen, he continued his whispering, “I love you… You’ve got to know that by now. If you don’t… Well… Erica, just tell me you believe it, and I mean truly -- believe it.” Before even letting her answer, he gently took both her hands in his and started towards the barn, pulling her ‘long with him. This was going to be the best date she’d ever been on… He’d make sure of that, because he’d promised it to himself and to her, secretly. His heart was beating quicker by the second. Was it possible to have a heart-attack at just 19? …Owen supposed he’d find out pretty damn soon.
