*~*Elias's POV*~*
"This is really nice." Haley said as she looked around the restaurant at the other diners. This wasn't the most expensive place in town, I didn't have a reservation for a place like that, but it was a nice place and that was what mattered to me. I needed her to know that I already valued her more than anything else in the world.
"I am glad that you like it." I couldn't take my eyes off of her. While she looked at the beautiful statues, paintings, and other décor of the restaurant, I was fixated on her.
"Why did you bring me here, though?" She asked, finally looking at me again. She noticed that I had been staring at her and a slight pinkish color tinged her dark complexion.
"Why not?" I asked as I sipped from my crystal water glass.
"Well, you could have taken me to a place that was less expensive, less upscale. Why did you choose this place?" She didn't look angry or upset, just inquisitive.
