To say Rachel was nervous was an understatement of epic proportions. She'd never really been on a first date. Even with Franklin, before everything went to hell, it hadn't really been dating. They just started holding hands and occasionally kissing when they went to movies instead of just going. And with Korvus, well... they kind of skipped all the dating parts. Finding a good Italian place was impossible out in the Shi'ar territories.

But when Aidan asked, she'd simply said yes, that would be great because, well, it would be. She wanted to try dating, and she actually liked Aidan now that they'd gotten to know each other a little better, but now that she was listening to him knocking on her door... and she had no idea what she was doing. She took a moment to smooth down her dress before she opened the door, blinking a little.

He looked good in that. Damn.
