Date

At around 6pm, when the bar started to fill up with the after-work crowd, they each went their separate ways after Mark rather awkwardly suggested they go out for dinner. Juliette politely refused, saying she had to work, but added that she was free on Wednesday if he was free. He was.

Mark had a date, not one he'd planned a few hours before, but one he strangely looked forward to. Juliette, wasn’t at all his type, but he really liked her sassiness and tactility. Wednesday’s date would show him if there was more to her that he liked.
