Hannah was well on her way when Andrew’s text came in, wondering what the surprise might be, she revisited her reservations about their first kiss the night before.  His texts reflected a different person than the one she kissed.  Maybe he didn’t physically express himself well romantically but that seemed contradictory to the enthusiastic person who expressed happiness readily in trying new places and eating new food.  The question she needed to answer was could she be happy with a partner who was reserved romantically?  Life up to that point had been an exercise of hiding and restraint.  She wanted more. Finally tasting what love might be like, settling for less was unacceptable.  It was too late to back out of the meeting and inconsiderate.  Seeing Andrew waiting at the entrance, Hannah waved.  She’d tell him they needed more time to get to know one another.<br/><br/>His surprise was very sweet, thanking him as they went through the museum’s security.  “Miss, you’re going to have to leave that with a coat room attendant.”  One of the guards motioned to the flowers.  Of course, no outside food, drink or ‘other’ was allowed near the precious collections housed inside.  Thanking the guards, Hannah and Andrew walked through the airy but crowded atrium to the coat room before accepting a map of the museum.  “So, Andrew what would you like to view first?”  She was relieved to have so many people around them.  “The Arms & Armor collection is impressive.” Waiting to hear what he was interested in, Hannah hoped they might stop in the sculpture garden, which was her favorite.
