Naturally, Lillian's news had made its way to all the nurses' ears. So, when a couple spotted him wandering around, they gladly pointed him in the right direction. Even though it wasn't exactly a rare occurrence, it was still exciting when a nurse bagged a soldier.
Lillian had just finished combing out her curls and pinning them back when Evie, who had been peering out the window, shouted that he was coming. She stepped back from the mirror and looked herself over one last time. She'd picked out her black flouncy dress with white polka-dots, her lucky pearl choker, and some red pumps to match her lips.

He figured he was lost. Ryan attempted to follow the nurses' directions (how the heck they knew about their plans, he didn't know...), his eyes peeled for Lillian as he slowly walked past each door. Peeking inside to see if she was there. He stopped in his tracks, finally spotting her in her dress and red shoes. He stood there for a while, in awe of how pretty she looked. He figured she already looked beautiful all dressed up earlier, but this was even better.
"Ready?" he said loud enough so he can hear her.

"Who's there?" She replied back, wanting to have a little fun.

"Um, er, Ryan?" he replied, hoping that she didn't forget about their plans. He would've looked so stupid right then and there if she decided that she didn't want to go. "The soldier in the clinic earlier?"

Lillian opened the door and stuck her head out.
"Ryan, Ryan... Oh, right!" She broke into a smile, opening the door fully. "How's your arm doing?"

"Better," he replied, smiling. He didn't realize how tough it'd be to dance with a bum shoulder but wanted to pull through for Lillian, especially after all that talk he'd brought up earlier. Once Lillian walked outside, Ryan couldn't help but stare. She was just as beautiful up close.
"You look lovely," said Ryan, extending his good arm.

"Compared to that uniform, anything looks lovely." Lillian replied with a laugh as she rested her hand in the crook of his elbow.
She couldn't help but hold her head a little higher as she walked around on his arm. All the nurses staying home tonight were probably insanely jealous.

Ryan would've wanted to give her a kiss on the cheek but didn't want to push it. That, and he had a feeling they were being watched.
"So, uh, did you happen to tell the other nurses around here about our plans?" he asked, noticing a couple of them peeking through the windows to look at them.

"I told my two roommates, not one person more." She swore, holding up her hand. "But, apparently, my two roommates are blabber mouths."

Ryan laughed softly, shaking his head. "Oh, girls... then again, I wouldn't have found you if rumor hadn't gotten around," he said, walking her out of the campus and into the city.

"Oh, right. I guess I should have mentioned where I'm staying..." Lillian's cheeks turned pink, but thankfully it was dark enough to hide it.
"Would you like to play the question game?"

Ryan noticed Lillian's cheek flush, causing him to smile, quite amused at her behavior.
"The question game? Are you an expert in this one too?" he said, jokingly.

"Of course, because I made it up!" She replied in a very 'uhm, duh!' tone. Jokingly, of course.
"I ask you a question, you answer, then ask me a question. Same or different question, it doesn't matter. Isn't that a clever game?!" She sounded quite proud of herself.

"You weren't kidding when you said that it's the question game," said Ryan, shaking her head at her. They were nearing the city as they walked on. The streets slowly becoming packed with people and cars. He spotted a few soldiers that he knew, giving him a nod and a smile.
"So, how do we start? You ask me a question?"

"Well, yes, technically you just started." Lillian smirked, trying not to giggle like a little school girl. He was just too cute.
"So, the answer is yes. And my question is this: What does your ideal evening look like?"
