[size=1]She raised her eyebrows. "Yes, I suppose she is...pretty. And interesting to talk to. But I never really hung out with her, she's a good deal younger than me - or you. She's my little sister's friend."

She shrugged. "Anyway, enough about her, hm? Food's coming..."

And indeed, a waiter brought back their dishes and set them down. [/size]

"Yeah, Glenn is awesome," he continued, after swallowing and hardly even looking at her. "I mean, and she's so stubborn, too! She seriously fought me to get me to go out on a d-"

He broke off in the middle of his sentence, pausing thoughtfully. "Not the best thing to say."[/size]

[size=1]Bella laughed. "You certainly seem to like her," she said. "She has a habit of getting along with the people she wants to, and getting her way."

Then she nodded. "She had to do a bit of convincing with me, too - it's okay. I'm really doubting this is going to work out..."

She paused a minute. "I vote we just finish the rest of this dinner as friends, we don't focus on making it a date, but then we tell Glenn it went well, just so she doesn't feel bad?"[/size]

"That's a great idea," Tree answered, grinning fully. "And no, I'm not obsessed with her. She was just sort of the first other girl who popped into my head."

He paused, taking a sip of water and laughing. "I'm going to have to convince her to re-think this 'dating' thing, for a while. Or at least, let me find someone for myself. Because you're very nice, but... we don't connect that way, you know?"[/size]

[size=1]Bella nodded with a smirk. "I never said you were obsessed with her," she said. "You're putting words in your own mouth...and that means you were thinking it..." She laughed.

"I know exactly what you mean - we just...we're not meant to be, because when you meet that someone it just...clicks. And we haven't clicked..." She sighed. "Glenn wouldn't shut up about you - going on and on about how great you were...how long have you known her?"[/size]

He shrugged. "Three or four days? It's kind of a funny story, actually. She turned up on my doorstep- sort of random, but good."

He completely ignored what Bella was saying about him already thinking he was obsessed with Glenn. That was silly. [/size]

[size=1]Bella blinked. "She just showed up on your doorstep? Just like that?" she asked. "Merlin, are you two, like, meant to be or something?"

She laughed, because the concept - to her - was ridiculous. But she wasn't going to go and turn it into something real. "Of course in my opinion you're way too old for her."[/size]

"My sister sent her to check on me," Tree admitted after a minute. "Glenn did it as a favor to her because she- my sister- is... extremely ill."

He laughed out loud. "Don't worry, Bella, I'm not considering dating Glenn at all. I know that I'm way too old for her- she's what, seventeen?"[/size]

[size=1]Bella shrugged. "Ah, that makes a bit more sense..." Still...she had to wonder.

"She's eighteen, actually," she said. "And she's quite a handful - if you get involved with her, know what you're getting into."

She stood. "Hey, I'd better get going, actually...here -" She handed him some money. "You tell Glenn I said hi, okay? And I'm sorry I couldn't come back with you." She winked, smiled, and left. [/size]

Tree got up from the table thoughtfully and apparated back to his flat, after paying off the waiter, of course. He still couldn't believe that someone would assume he was into Glenn- that would be disgusting of him, after all. Even at eighteen, she was unreasonably young and he would probably be... hell, imprisoned in the muggle world for doing anything with her. [/size]

[size=1]Tree brought them both to a restaurant, and they were lead to an outdoor table, lit by lights that weren't quite as bright as day, soft and warm. She sat, and smiled at Tree.

"This is nice," she said. "And...thank you."[/size]

He furrowed his eyebrows, taking a seat across from her. "Thank you for what?"

He couldn't think of anything that he could have done recently that would cause her to want to thank him. He scoured his memory, but... nothing was coming up.[/size]

[size=1]She sighed, and shook her head. "Thank you because you're still here!" she said, as if it were obvious. "You're...still here, you haven't left again - you have no idea how much that means to me."

She wasn't sure if he'd think of it like that, or what he would say to her remark. But it was true. The waiter came, and she ordered soup. [/size]

"I swore that I wouldn't leave you again," he reminded her, a little hurt. "And I won't. Unless, obviously, you ask me to."

He cracked a smile, continuing with, "And even then, only if you say 'please'."

Though he joked, it still irked him a little that she would still distrust him. Okay. So he had slept with her and then not been there when she woke up the next morning. He had then proceeded to essentially grovel at her feet for her forgiveness... and she still couldn't understand that he cared very much indeed about her? It was difficult.[/size]

[size=1]Glenn detected the hurt in his voice, and stared at her hands, afraid that somehow she'd offended him. "I know you did," she said. "And I don't want you to leave - please stay with me..." She sighed.

"But you have to give me time - time for me to adjust one part of me to what the other part of me knows beyond anything." She shrugged. "I think we can be...happy."[/size]

"I think we can be happy too," Tree answered quietly. "I hope we will."

He took her hand in his gently and kissed it, smiling. "I hope we're very happy indeed."[/size]

[size=1]She blushed as he kissed her hand. "I'm happy now, if that counts," she said, with a smile. "And I think it does. So the question is, Mr. Moone, are you happy right now?"

Maybe that was all happiness was - a judgment of the moment, and it could change at any given time. Maybe it was something that you couldn't guarantee in the past or the future, just...hold onto it while you had it. [/size]

[size=1]"Incandescently happy," he responded, though wincing when she said 'Mr. Moone'. "I'd prefer plain... Tree, or Terrence, or whatever," he said simply. "Mr. Moone was my father."[/size]

[size=1]She pouted. "Aw, but it's like that song - have you ever heard it?" She disregarded the fact that they were in a restaurant, and began to sing, softly. "Mr. Moon, Mr. Moon, you're out too soon, the sun is still in the sky." She shrugged. "Haven't you ever heard it?"

Then, she smirked, and said, "Fine, Terrence - do you think the food will get here soon?" She couldn't even remember if he'd ordered yet, but then, she wasn't sure if she'd know what color her shirt was if someone asked her. She was just...so content, for once. [/size]

"No, I've never heard the song," he responded, grinning. "And I honestly couldn't tell you when the food'll come. You're supposed to be the Seer, aren't you?"

He took a sip of his wine, chuckling.[/size]
