As they left the house, both Damion and Ivy had no specific place in mind for their impromptu dinner date. In the past, if they didn't feel like cooking, they would go to one of their usual spots where they had a designated table and didn't have to wait for seating.
But today, Ivy wanted something different. She scrolled through her phone looking at recommendations for new restaurants that were supposed to be delicious. Damion was happy to go wherever Ivy wanted; he just wanted her to be happy.
Finally, Ivy settled on a trendy restaurant with unique decor that looked nothing like a typical eatery from the pictures she saw online. Normally she wasn't interested in trying something so out of the ordinary but today was different - she felt adventurous.
After parking the car and seeing what kind of restaurant it really was, Damion couldn't help but agree with Ivy's initial assessment: this place did not look like it would serve good food. But as Ivy pointed out some positive reviews online, he realized there might be more than met the eye.
"If those are fake reviews," said Ivy jokingly as she handed him her phone, "I'll report them for false advertising."
Damion chuckled at her comment and put his arm around her shoulder affectionately before saying, "You're my hero."
As they approached the restaurant entrance however, they noticed an incredibly long line waiting outside, which made even confident Ivy hesitate momentarily before asking Damion if he still wanted to try it out.
"We're already here," replied Damion reassuringly as he took hold of her hand. "Let's give it a shot!"
Their number ended up being over 100, which meant another two or three hours wait time, but instead of sitting around doing nothing , the couple found themselves exploring nearby stores while enjoying each other's company.
Ivy decided that since this outing was already taking longer than expected, she might as well take advantage by going window-shopping while waiting for their turn at dinner.
Although shopping together wasn't something they did often since most times when shopping came up, Damion always seemed prepared ahead of time.
Most of the time, Ivy just needed to receive. She wasn't really someone who enjoyed shopping and couldn't remember the last time she had gone out to shop on her own initiative.
Damion would sometimes take her out for a stroll, but Ivy wasn't much of a walker and would stop after an hour or two.
Today, they were only here because they had to wait in line, so they settled for the nearest mall.
The mall wasn't very big, but it had everything one could need. They walked from the first floor all the way up without much interest in anything until they reached the baby store on the top floor where Ivy perked up.
She was holding Damion's hand as they walked towards it when she suddenly let go upon seeing a pair of blue shoes that caught her eye - small and adorable.
Damion looked at his empty arm with resignation as Ivy became engrossed in examining them closely.
