herself.
                  Gwen eventually decided on a blue dress, it came down to the spot just above her knee, black heels, black pearls, and accessories. She looked at herself in the mirror, it was almost time for Torrian to arrive, she peeked out of her bedroom window and didn’t see his car yet, she walked down to her kitchen and grabbed herself a bottle of water, out of habit she checked her breath and then her purse to make sure she had everything she needed for the evening.
                  Just as Gwen’s nerves started to subside she heard a beast like engine roar in her driveway then silence when it was turned off. She knew exactly who it was and smiled while her stomach formed knots. Moments later the doorbell rang. She waited a few moments, checked her reflection one last time, then opened the door to see Torrian, he was wearing a gunmetal gray button up top, tight in all the right places jeans, and a suit jacket. He seemed just as awestruck as she was.
                  “Wow” they said in unison.
                  “You look good enough to eat.” Torrian said in appreciation.
                  “Thanks you too.” Gwen said grabbing a light black jacket that matched the dress.
                  “Ready to go?” Torrian asked with a cocked brow.
                  “Yes I am.” Gwen stepped outside, locked her door, and then turned to face her date for the evening with a huge grin.
     
                  Damn, Torrian thought to himself, she was the total package, when she turned around in the royal blue dress, he could see the curve of her backside and if that wasn’t enough to get a warm blooded man going, he didn’t know what was. Her dainty wrists moved and he heard the tumblers fall into place with the lock. He was going out with Gwen, she had said yes to him.
                  Torrian took Gwen’s arm in his and walked her to his car, the 1967 Mustang was the only thing him and his father ever agreed on and the only thing left of their relationship now he was glad he didn’t sell it because it almost matched her eyes. Blue seemed to be the theme for the evening.  He opened the door and closed it for her after she was situated inside. He was nervous, Torrian just hoped Gwen didn’t see it but part of him knew that effort was futile, that was what she did for a living she read people.
                  Gwen and Torrian talked through the entire car ride to the 6 th avenue restaurant, they laughed, and it was truly a jubilant time for the pair. The ride in total took about half an hour thanks to taking surface streets through Tacoma, Torrian wanted to savor his time with Gwen. She was full of life outside of the island; he really could appreciate a woman like her.
                  “Torrian, this car is beautiful how long have you had it?” Gwen asked still admiring the leather seats she was sitting in, she knew it was old, but cars weren’t exactly her niche, so better to ask than to assume.
                  “I’ve had it since I was sixteen. Dad and I got the shell and rebuilt it from the engine on up.”
                  “Oh that is awesome, good for you and your dad.” She said running her hand over the leather carefully.
                  The man nodded before he spoke, “it was the only thing we ever could agree on, it was quite entertaining for my mom to watch us argue.”
                  Gwen laughed hard, which made Torrian’s heart lift, his father and his relationship wasn’t his favorite subject, but the fact it brought Gwen some joy made it easier. Torrian joined Gwen in her laughter as they parked in one of the few lots.
                  “Stay in the car.” Torrian said his voice was serious as he exited the mustang then walked around the car, and he opened the door for Gwen, he was a
