Through appetizers, and their entrees, conversation had been easy and comfortable. It wasn't until the plates were cleared that he said, "So, I want to hear about your running." Darci raised an eyebrow. She was impressed it had taken him so long to bring it up. "Well," she said. "I took your suggestion. And you were right." "I was?" He tilted his head and smiled. She swatted her napkin at him. "You were. Running has been a huge stress relief for me. I didn't realize it before, but it's actually very freeing to be able to just take off and not worry about anything. Even if it is for only an hour." Cam nodded and took a sip of his wine. "That's why I suggested it. Maybe we can go for a run together sometime?" "We'll see." Changing the subject, she picked up the dessert menu and said, "I'm definitely in the mood for a piece of chocolate cake. Want to split one?" "Absolutely." After they ordered it, guilt washed over Darci. She sat back in her chair and started fiddling with her napkin. "Is it terrible that I want a piece of chocolate cake so bad because we haven't been able to have any in the house?" She looked up at Cam.
