Arriving to the restaurant, Aaron gets out and opens the car door for Esme.

"Why thank you." Esme giggles.

Walking towards the entrance, Aaron can't help but look at Esme. How the street lights reflect off her eyes. How she always has a small smile on her face. How he feels warm when she's around. There's a comfortable silence between them as they walk.

Walking into the restaurant, they realize they are the first ones there. Aaron pulls out the chair for Esme, sitting next to her.

"So, what do you suggest?" Esme says.

"The filet is always good." Aaron points at the menu.

"Hmmm. I guess I'll have to take your word for it." Esme smirks, looking over the menu.

After awhile, the rest of the cast arrives. Maeve and Freya sit next to Esme, greeting the two.

"So Aaron, how's Sam doing?" Maeve asks, with a mischievous look on her face.

"She's..she's good." Aaron smiles, but it doesn't quite meet his eyes.

"Well that's good, it's too bad she couldn't make it." Freya responds.

"Yeah.." Aaron says, looking a bit uncomfortable talking about the woman.

"Um, so Maeve you were talking about your daughter earlier, how old is she again?" Esme says, trying to change the subject.

"Ah yes, Lilibeth, she's 2, turning 3 next month." Maeve gushes about her daughter.

Maeve and Freya get wrapped up in a conversation about the 2 year old, allowing Esme and Aaron to delve into their own discussion.

"Thank you..by the way." Aaron says, looking into Esme's emerald eyes.

"Oh, it's no problem, I could tell you didn't want to talk about it." Esme smiles.

"Yeah..things with Sam are a bit rough at the moment." Aaron rubs the back of his neck.

"Well you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. I am always open to listen though." Esme comforts him.

"Thank you, Esme." Aaron smiles, briefly touching Esme's arm.

The moment is short and sweet but to them it feels like forever. They are interrupted by a commotion in the background.

"Suprise!" A woman yells out.

Aaron turns in suprise. The woman in question runs into his arms. That must be Sam...

"Sam..what are you doing here?" Aaron says, slightly looking at Esme.

"Well I wanted to suprise you. And who is this?" Sam says, turning to Esme.

"I'm Esme, Aaron's co-star." Esme tries a smile, putting out her hand to shake. I might as well try to get on her good side.

"Sam. Aaron's wife." Sam says, quite passive aggressively. She doesn't even shake Esme's hand.
