Patsy's Italian RestaurantWhen: Saturday, after Artie and Tina return to New York
What: A date, turning into something a little more awkward
Rating: PG-13 (Let's be safe)
It was with mixed feelings that Artie came back to New York. He'd stretched his stay at home to the absolute limit, taking advantage of that extra time to spend it with his Nana. He hated leaving though. His Dad dropped he and Tina and the airport, and he was quieter than normal on the flight back, holding Tina's hand tightly most of the way, for more than just hating the flight.
He shook himself out of his mood when he got back to his dorm room, quickly unpacking (thankfully, he didn't have all that much to unpack). The thought of going out on a date with Tina was a good distraction - it had been too long since they'd actually gone out on a proper date - too often they just settled for a takeaway, a movie and an evening cuddled up together. Artie was determined not to go down the route of neglecting Tina again, so he chose to take them out on Saturday to make up for the lack of time they'd had together in Lima, with her staying over - he owed her a lullaby, after all. He checked the booking he'd made, then after unpacking, he spent a while
getting ready. He was due to meet Tina there (it felt more 'datish' to him), and she'd left her overnight bag with him in advance, with dire warnings not to touch it.
He made his way out in the cold night, heading towards the restaurant and getting there ten minutes early, opting to sit inside rather than wait outside in the cold January New York night.
