Okay, Steve. ( it's strange, how the word feels like so strange in her mouth. she's met guys named steve and variations of it before; it's not as if the name has completely gone out of fashion, but there's something about the way he says it that makes it feel... well, old-fashioned, for lack of a better word.
the banter is easy, almost friendly in a way, as they unload the bags and settle things out against the countertops, and while kimberly hasn't exactly made a mental checklist of her kitchen's assorted accessories, it doesn't take too much rummaging before she finds the pots and pans in their cabinet homes. there's not much else beyond the basics, but it's enough to cook a meal. she hopes, anyway. )
You know, I can't think of the last time a guy offered to make me dinner. ( or wanted to have dinner in an apartment, for that matter. most of her dates — the ones that could actually be referred to as dates, anyway — had involved the standby classic of dinner out, meeting up somewhere on neutral ground to see how things would go before determining the rest of the evening. but there was something about him, something trustworthy, that made her a little more willing to welcome him in like this. to not feel quite so much on display. ) You're going to spoil me if you keep this up.
