Clara thanked the woman and took her camera back. She scooted her chair back to her side.
Jen brought their food. “Enjoy, and call me if you need anything.”
Clara took a few quick snaps of the menu, their food. Then she and Walt took turns passing it back and forth to take pictures of the other one while eating. She noticed Walt begin to loosen up and actually laugh and smile with each shot they took.
“I think we have enough.” She put her camera away.
Walt shrugged. “This isn’t so bad. It’s just like hanging out.”
“See, it isn’t killing you,” Clara laughed.
For the rest of the “date”, they just spoke and acted as they usually did. They made stupid jokes and ate from each other’s plates.
Jen came back with the bill.
Walt pulled out his wallet and began to count out the money. Clara didn’t think to bring any money with her. She and Walt usually took turns paying for things and never kept score of who did and when.
Jen watched as only he attempted to pay the bill.
“Oh my god,” she squealed. “Is this a date?”
