After talking for a couple of weeks, they agreed to meet up for a date. Cora chose a Thai restaurant that was midway between where they both lived. They agreed to meet on a Sunday after their church services. Sean, nervous about being late and not computing the drive time correctly, arrived 45 minutes early. Cora, always running late, actually arrived 5 minutes early.

Cora was excited to have her date, but more excited to eat Thai food for lunch. That quickly changed when she met Sean. She thought Sean looked much more handsome in person than on his profile pictures. Sean thought Cora was very attractive and he didn't care what was for lunch, he just wanted to get to know her.

Sean had never had Thai food before and had no idea what to order. While Cora had Pad Thai, he ordered a seafood salad. When she questioned his choice, thats when he mentioned he'd never had Thai before.

Despite the food snafu, their conversation flowed easily. They talked about multiple different subjects, while the people around them came and went. Soon they realized it was dark outside and the restaurant closed in 30 mins. They had been talking for 6 hours.

They agreed to a second date the following weekend. Sean walked Cora to her car but as they passed his truck he told her he had something for her and grabbed a bouquet of pink fire and ice roses for her.
