I owe you more than just dinner

[innameof]

And now Griffin is trying to decide if he wants to cook dinner for Mary or take her out. It takes him some time but he decides he spends a great deal of time in the lab and that going out seems like a good plan.

So he finds his favorite place. They served great Greek food and he thought Mary would like it. He got her flowers and called to make sure tonight was still good for their date just to be sure.

He tenses for a moment then just relaxes a bit. "I had other reasons but.... Granddad was a very nice guy. Helped me get into college early."

"Oh," Mary said, but didn't push the issue. "That's good, though," she added.
