The day after Jude left the hospital.

Jude hadn't spoken to tommy since she'd gotten home. She was anxious and scared. She really cared about him and she knew he loved her she didn't want to ruin that. Jude had never been in a relationship like this before. Or any relationship at all for that matter, she was afraid she would screw things up. She always did.

But after everything she had realized she could die tomorrow. There had been a lot of near death situations lately. It was time to stop being passive and go out there and make her life happy. Picking up the phone she dialed his number. Her heart beat quickening with the ringing of the phone.

"Hello"

"Tommy. Hey its Jude"

"Oh hi Jude"

"Listen I was wondering if your not busy do you want to have dinner. Well even if you aren't busy you don't have to. Not saying that you won't be because you're Tom Quincy. Of course you'll have something to do...I mean"

"Jude chill. Of course I'll go to dinner with you" a large smile broke out on her face.

"Really? Great! Pick me up at 7?"

"Sure"

"Bye Tommy"

It was 6:30 and Jude was still stressing over her date with Tommy. The last one didn't go so well. Which was not helping to quell her fears. She had decided on a black dress that went to mid thigh. It had silver trim on it. Her hair was down wavily and her make up was done to the "t" but she couldn't help being so god damn nervous. She decided to drink a beer to put her at ease.

Twenty minutes later she was feeling more calm. There was a knock at her door and she knew it was him taking a deep breath she opened the door. There was Tommy with a dozen roses at her door. He smiled at her and said. " You look beautiful"

"Thanks. These flowers are really lovely" she said with a light blush. Jude took the flowers from him and went to put them in a vase. After doing so she turned around and looked at Tom. He was watching her with a spark in his eye. She realized she had been to busy looking into his eyes to notice that he was wearing a sharp black suit with a navy blue tie.

"You look rather handsome." he chuckled. He walked towards her until he was barely an inch away and in a soft velvety voice that made her knees weak he said,"You look absolutely gorgeous".

Then he kissed her cheek and stepped back. Jude knew she was blushing after that. Oh, what he did to her. He held his hand out to her and she took it without.

"Shall we?"

"We shall" she said with a happy smile.
