“How? How did you do this? How did you?” She was surprised, but I could see how happy she was.
“I asked Noah. I could tell you wanted to ask for something yesterday. I don’t know if it was this or not. But I decided to ask what a good choice would be for tonight.”
“Is it from where I think it is?” She was looking at me hopeful.
“See for yourself.” I said as I led her over to the cart of food.
I took the lid off the tray and there was an array of white take-out containers bearing red Chinese lettering and playful looking panda bear.
“Lucky Panda’s Garden?” She exclaimed happily. “Oh Goddess, I haven’t had this in months.”
“You can order take out still you know. You don’t have to eat in every night. And it would be nice to give Abigail a night or two off from time to time.” I smiled at how happy she looked.
“I just didn’t know if it would really be acceptable to have this here.”
“Why wouldn’t it?” I asked her, confused.
“Well, think about it, we’re always eating the food here but the one time you took me out it was to a super fancy restaurant. I just get the feeling that take out Chinese food would not be welcomed in a house like this.”
“That’s ridiculous. Yeah, we live in a big fancy house, but we’re still just people.”
“That’s easy for you to say, but to me it feels like a completely different world.” She was looking nervous now, that was not what I wanted.
“That was never my intention. I wanted you to be comfortable here from the start. I asked your cousin your preferences. I chose your room because he said you liked the color blue. I had the staff learn some of your food and drink choices, all so you would transition easier. I didn’t want you to stress out.”
“I think stressing was going to be inevitable. I was moving into a new home with no warning. It was a scary thought.”
“Did you find me that scary?” I asked her, a hint of sadness in my voice.
“There were times I was afraid, but more so because I don’t, or didn’t, know much about you. But mostly, it was because I was afraid of the changes, and the choice being taken away from me.”
“I’m sorry, but you know we don’t get to choose our mates. The Goddess picks them for us, we simply need to accept that and let the bliss that follows be ours.” I smiled seductively at her.
“Yeah, except my mate told me he didn’t want me, that he rejected me, and that he hated me.” I saw the pain in her eyes. It was raw and open. Even now she was hurting every time she thought about those words.
“I’m sorry Little Bunny, I never should have said any of that to you. I was wrong.” I regretted those words, from day one I regretted them. I just needed to make her understand that. “That’s why I want to start over. I want us to pretend that never happened.”
“I’m willing to try, that’s all I can promise you.”
“That’s all that I can hope for.”
We sat down to dinner then. My Little Bunny looked elated to see the food I had in store for her. We had chicken chop suey, General Tso’s chicken, Chinese rib tips, wonton soup, egg rolls, fried rice, and white rice. I got everything that Noah said she loved the most. I had never seen her eyes look as big as they did then.
We talked about different things, typical date topics and get to know you questions. We were enjoying ourselves. I couldn’t be happier with how the dinner was going. I kept it calm and didn’t try to rush anything. I was letting everything happen naturally tonight.

When we were done with dinner, sipping our drinks and laughing together, I asked her if she was willing to accompany me to the music room. She didn’t seem nervous, and thankfully she agreed right away. Taking her hand like I was becoming accustomed to doing, I helped her to her feet before lightly placing my hand on her hip and escorting her down the hall.
We had spent an hour laughing, talking, and getting to know each other over dinner, so it was after ten when we got to the music room. I was hoping that she might play something for me, and I something for her. And I had a stereo system set up so we could choose to listen if we wanted to dance instead of play.
She didn’t seem skeptical or nervous, scared or angry, when we got to our destination. I saw that as a plus. She was smiling happily as she looked around the room for something that might be different.
“I see there is a fire in here today as well.” She noted when we entered the room.
“I felt it would be fitting, it is winter after all.”
“Do you often get cold?” She asked me jokingly.
“No, but especially not when I’m with you.” I grinned at her playfully.
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Just that you’re warm and by association I feel warmer as well.”
“Hmmm.” She looked at me in disbelief. “I think you should just stick with you don’t get cold.” I laughed.
“Would you like to play something with me?”
