"Um, I don't think so," said Evangeline. "I'm not used to comments like that," she said lamely. "So it's going to take awhile."

"Well, you're going to have to get used to comments like that," said Tristan. "Because when I look at you, they just keep spilling out of my mouth. It's completely against my will, I assure you. And honestly, everyone else in the world must be stupid to not see what I see when I look at you." He reached across the table and took her hands in his, bringing first one and then the other to his lips for a gentle kiss.

Evangeline smiled at him, not really knowing how to respond. "Um, thanks," said Evangeline quietly. "After we leave here, what would you like to do?"

Tristan shrugged. "Oh, I don't know. It is starting to get a little late, so maybe we should just walk home slowly," he said. "Just, you know, enjoy the night air a little."
A waiter came up to them then with their ice cream. After they had their ice cream and the waiter walked away, Tristan grinned at her. "I swear this stuff is the best ice cream I've ever had. Better than Florean Fortescue's."

Evangeline smiled. "I can't say I've had Florean Fortescue's," said Evangeline. "But I'll take your word on it," she said picking up her spoon and took a bite out the ice cream.

"Really?" Tristan said, surprised. "You never went there with your parents when you were getting your stuff at Diagon Alley? My parents were jerks, and even they would take me there every year. Well, when I got a little older, they would just give me money to go there by myself. But you know what I mean. I can't believe you've never been there!"

"No," said Evangeline. "I didn't come from what you call a wealthy family," she said. "I mean we had money, but just enough extra to get me by in school. I didn't really care to much on spending extra money. I just focused on what I really needed."

Tristan nodded. "OK, that makes sense. Still, it's kind of sad that you never got to go there. Maybe some time I'll take you there. Then you can tell me which one you think is better." He took a big spoonful of ice cream and ate it.

Evangeline smiled. "Maybe so," she said. She laughed as he took a big bite of ice cream, because there was some ice cream around his top lip.

Tristan laughed, too, and licked the ice cream off of his lips. "Yeah, OK, I admit it. I get really excited about ice cream. I used to do the same thing when I was a kid. I'd get ice cream all over my face. So now you know my big secret.... I'm a messy eater. I suppose you're disgusted now and want to break up with me, right?"

Evangeline laughed. "No. Just because you're a messy eater doesn't mean anything," she said. "Speaking of messy, I remember once I went to the kitchen to eat and accidentally dropped some ice cream, and it hit an elf, and then he thought another elf threw it at him, and they started to throw food at each other. The kitchen ended up being a complete mess, although, I have to admit, it was pretty funny."

Tristan laughed. "Now, that must have been a sight to see. Usually, the house elves are so focused on their work that they don't do things like that... at least, not around people. They must have been really tense to act like that around you. But you know, I started a fight like that in the Great Hall once. I flung some mashed potatoes at a Gryffindor who was getting on my nerves, and before I knew it, the whole school was having a massive food fight. I think I even saw Professor Dumbledore flinging food."

"Ah yes. That was you that started it," said Evangeline. "I know I hid under the table. It took me about five times washing my hair just to get out all the mashed potatoes," she said with a frown. "I wouldn't really be surprised it Dumbledore would have joined in."

Tristan laughed. "I know... I had peas stuck in my ear. Madam Pomfrey had to remove them. Still, it was one of the most fun things I ever did. But I'm sorry if I messed up your pretty hair." he reached across the table and took a lock of her hair in his hand, twisting it playfully around his finger.

"Well, then my hair was a mess. Now it's somewhat tamed," said Evangeline with a smile. "It's not as bushy." Evangeline felt a shiver run up her spine whenever he took a lock of her hair. "I have to admit, even I had fun at the food fight."

"Well, then, I don't feel so bad," he said. He finished his ice cream ang gave her a lazy grin. "So, I hope you've had a nice time tonight. I just wish it didn't have to end."

Evangeline smiled. "I have had fun tonight. And we can do this again. I never have anything planned after work," she said.

"OK, great," Tristan said. "Well, I'll walk you home when you're ready. It's a nice night for walking, don't you think?"

"Yes, it is," said Evangeline. "Come on, we can take the long way to my house," she said. Evangeline headed for the door and opened it. She took in the crisp night air and noticed that all the stars were shining.

"That sounds great," Tristan said, wrapping an arm around her waist as he walked. "This is OK, right? I like being close to you."
