He smiled kissing her hand again. "I never want to be without you either Penny. I love you, I may have lost a lot, but I've gained so much more."

  Penny smiled, and squeaked when they sat her plate in front of her.  She hadn't expected them to come so fast!!  But she was glad the entree was there.  "Would you please, love?"  She tapped the plate edge, indicating what.

"Sure, I'm gonna need both hands though." He said with a smirk as he took her plate and began slicing the steak into small pieces for her.

  Penny let go of his hand, and said softly "I think today is one of the best days of my life.  I know of a couple more that will be. . .  even better."

He smiled at her as he finished cutting her steak and placed it in front of her. "Whats important is, we have eachother, through both the good and the bad. And yes there are some, events, I'm looking forward to."

  Penny smiled, and said softly "You know, I'm looking forward to a wedding with you.  Just so that everyone knows you're MY man, and I'm YOURS.  That I never want anyone else, until death claims one of us."

"I am too. I'm Meg's gardener now so whatever we don't need is going away for your perfect fairytale wedding. That an you know what I don't use to spoil you rotten in the meantime."

  Penny blushed, and said softly "This is going to sound dumb.  I don't know what to do, other than make vows, at a wedding.  I don't . . . . I don't remember."  That last was very quiet, almost ashamed sounding.  She didn't have a 'fairytale wedding dream', because she didn't even recall how they went.  Which, well, she couldn't SEE one anymore anyway.

Jack frowned. It wasn't like he could plan the wedding HIMSELF. It was supposed to be the brides day. "I went to a cousins wedding once, can you look at the memory give you some ideas?"

  She nodded, and said "Yes.  It will take a little rummaging.  I'm sorry in advance if it feels really .  . . invasive or embarrassing."  She let that sink in, and as she nibbled on her steak, she was rummaging, as gently as she COULD, in his head for the memory.

Penny found the memory as jack was eating his own steak. He hadn't been paying attention to much of the words but she got the gist of how the ceremony went. He'd danced with one of his cousins friends at the reception and his mother and him made a bit of a roadtrip of the way back to get more time together.

  She smiled, and sipped her drink as she whispered into his mind {{Thank you, love.  Thank you for sharing with me, and not minding me seeing so much.  I'm really glad you showed me.}}

{{I know you don't have a lot of happy memories. I'm fine with sharing mine with you.}} Jack smiled at her as he ate savoring every bite. It had been SO long since he'd been out to eat anywhere, much less a fancy steak place.

  Penny smiled, and said softly {{I am so blessed to have you, Jack.  And that you love me as much as I love you.  I'm so happy with you . . . you're the wings to my spirit.  And I love you.  Do you think I've ever been out to a steak dinner before?}}

{{I don't know Penny, we don't know enough of your life before to be sure. Does it uhhh, taste familiar?}}

  Penny admitted {{No.  A lot of things don't taste like I had them before.  You saw what Builder would feed us.  I don't remember what else.  But good food is . . . .not something I feel like I had a lot of.}}  He could see her savoring the flavors of the meal, the little expressions of pleasure on her face, the way she would enjoy the bites and chew them slowly.

{{Yeah nothing flavorfull about that stuff. I aim to change that. Anything you want, if its within my power to give to you. I will.}}

  She smiled, and whispered "I want another waltz with you.  And to try that thing . . . what did they call it?  Death by Chocolate?"

Jack smiled chuckling a bit. "I think I can make that happen. Which would you like first? Dessert or dancing?"

  Penny giggled, and said "Dessert first, please?  Then dancing?"

Jack smiled. "Your wish is my command." He waved the waiter over. "Excuse me, One death by chocolate please?"

  The waiter smiled, and went to get the two of them a helping of Death by Chocolate.  He placed a large square of it before the two of them.

Jack smiled at the waiter. "Thank you." Once he'd left he gently placed the spoon in Penny's hand. "You take the first bite, this is your night after all."

  Penny scooped a bite of the cake and ice cream confection up, and tried it.  She bumped it into her nose before she quite got the hang of how big the bite was, and giggled.  She had chocolate icing on her nose now.

Jack picked up a napkin and leaned over. "Here let me get that." HE dabbed her nose wiping off the chocolate, before sitting back down and taking a bite himself. "mmm this is good."
