Well, it's a marvellous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
(Moondance by Van Morrison)
JD smiled in wonder as Casey made her way down the sidewalk, her hand in his as they made their way towards Ezra’s Jaguar. The southern man had lent it to JD for the night, with the promise if “One scratch was on his car, there would be serious bodily harm on JD’s persons.”
With the promise made and the car secured, he opened the side passenger door and helped his girlfriend in.
They were dressed to the nine’s, him in a black tux and her in a red strapless dress with a small black clutch purse, black heels and her hair up in a simple, but elegant up do.
Smoothly navigating the vehicle among the roads of Denver, the duo quickly arrived at their destination: Luca D’Italia.
The car was quickly parked and JD and Casey entered the restaurant and were shown to their table right away.
“That was quick,” Casey commented as JD helped her into her chair.
Sitting down, JD grinned. “It pays to make reservations a couple of months in advance.”
Casey returned the grin as menus were laid out in front of them.
“Our specials tonight are the Dry Aged New York Strip paired with lobster whipped potatoes and local asparagus. Also the Pappardelle Bolognese made in a traditional meat ragù and parmigiano reggiano,” the waiter recited. “The wines for tonight are a local made Green Apple white wine and a local made Blackberry red wine.”
“Oh, the blackberry wine sounds good, JD,” Casey said excitedly.
“Sounds good to me too, Case,” JD replied back and then turned his attention to the waiter. “We’ll get the tasting menu with a bottle of that blackberry red wine, along with a couple of glasses of water.”
“Of course, sir,” The waiter replied back and took the menus back with him.
“This place is so fancy, JD, what’s the occasion?”
“Well, it’s been a couple of years since we met and tonight is actually the anniversary of our first date,” JD smiled at Casey.
“Oh,” Casey sighed. “That’s so romantic of you.”
“Well, it was either this place or the hotdog stand where I took us the first time we dated,” JD grinned.
“Good thing too, I don’t plan on washing mustard out of this dress,” Casey laughed lightly as she gestured at the red dress.
JD blushed. “I did say I was sorry about that.”
Reaching across the table, she grabbed JD’s hand. “I may forgive you someday in the future.”
“Oh good, I thought I’d be in the dog house over that for a very long time.”
The waiter had returned with their water, lemon wedged on the rim of their glasses.
Idle chitchat continued to dominate the conversation, mostly of the “How’s work?” variety and what kind of plans they should make for next weekend, camping was the main topic for that.
Sipping at the water, JD’s eyes widened as he felt Casey’s foot playing with his and then choked on the water as it went up his pant leg.
Casey merely smiled over her water glass as she continued her ministrations.
The waiter returned with their food and placed both dishes in front of them.
“For you sir, the chef has prepared a Lasagne Rollata al Forno, lasagne rolls stuffed with ricotta, mozzarella, asiago, parmesan and romano cheese. Topped with mozzarella and seasoned breadcrumbs, baked in five cheese marinara,” the waiter explained and then gestured at Casey’s dish. “For you madam, the chef has made a Garlic-Herb Chicken con Broccoli, rosemary-seasoned chicken breasts sautéed with fresh broccoli in a garlic cream sauce over orecchiette pasta.”
“It looks absolutely delicious,” Casey excitedly said.
Pulling the wine bottle from the wine bucket another waiter had brought, while he had explained the dishes, the red liquid was swiftly poured into the glasses and both JD and Casey could smell the fruity fragrance.
Gazing at one another, they barely noticed the waiter leaving their table as they picked up their wine glasses and toasted one another.
“To our anniversary and us,” JD toasted.
Casey repeated the line and her glass made a light clinking sound against JD’s and they sipped at the wine.
Food was consumed as they shared bites from each other’s dishes.
Light touches against one another’s faces as forks were placed inside mouths and the silverware was slowly removed, trailing past tongue and teeth. A slight bit of juice was resting on Casey’s lip and JD brushed it off with the pad of his thumb and licked it off.
“Want to get out of here?” JD asked of Casey. The food wasn’t even half done and the bottle of wine had been barely consumed, they only had one glass each. He rubbed Casey’s hand. “Go somewhere else?”
“And what else do you have planned tonight, Mr. Dunne?”
“This and that,” came a grin of future promise.
Agreeing, the food and wine were quickly boxed up, bill paid off and once again, Ezra’s Jaguar was being manoeuvred along the streets.
Casey watched as the scenery rolled past by and knew by the landmarks they were heading to Centennial Park. Why there, Casey had no idea, but she assumed it was more or less part of the romantic evening JD had planned. She had hoped that they were heading back to JD’s place for a more, intimate evening, but she was sure whatever was happening, it would be wonderful.
The Jag rolled into one of the side parking lots and JD bounced out of the vehicle, excitement lining his body. Helping Casey out of the car, he had made sure to grab the bottle of wine earlier from the restaurant and then went and unlocked the trunk and grabbed a blanket and a picnic basket.
Offering his arm to Casey, the duo walked across the parking lot, down the side walk and towards the bank near the small pond.
Laying the blanket down onto the grass, he helped Casey seat herself onto the thick woollen blanket. Opening up the picnic basket, he plucked out a plastic champagne glass, uncorked the wine bottle and poured Casey a small amount.
Casey giggled as JD juggled all of the items, set them down and then sat on the blanket himself, plastic champagne glasses in hand.
Leaning on his side, he brushed a piece of hair away from Casey’s face that had escaped from her up do.
She smiled at him and leaned in for a kiss. “You are wonderful, JD. All of this wonderful.”
“I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself,” JD replied and leaned into the kiss Casey brushed against his lips.
They quickly consumed their wine and leaned back against the blanket. Casey snuggled into JD’s side, the full moon shone brightly on them and the stars to them were twinkling.
It was a magical and romantic night.
They traced out what constellations they could find and made up new stories about them.
Soon, it became late into the night and they were both starting to yawn.
“This has been really romantic, JD,” Casey said as she stood up, brushing away imaginary dirt from her dress.
“Good, ‘cause I have one last surprise before we go home,” JD softly stated as he reached for something inside his jacket pocket and kneeled. Bringing out a small black box, he popped it open. “Casey Wells, will you marry me?”
Gasping in surprise and delight, Casey looked at the ring in the box and held out her left hand. “Yes, yes, you silly goose!”
Whooping with delight, JD got the ring out of the box and went to go put it on Casey’s ring finger; he fumbled the ring in his fingers and cursed as it dropped onto the blanket.
“You klutz,” Casey lightly teased.
Cheeks reddening with embarrassment, JD bent over and grabbed the ring when he felt a slight wind pass over his back.
Casey’s scream brought JD’s head up from his searching of the ring and he saw this shape on his fiancé, several feet away. There was no hesitation as adrenaline filled him as he sprinted forward and tackled the ‘thing’ off of Casey.
Getting to his feet, JD ran to Casey’s side. Blood was covering her from head to toe and some sort of claw mark marred her face, shoulder and torso.
He needed to get her to the hospital.
Now.
“J...D...,” Casey choked out, blood escaping from her lips.
He barely got to reply or even help when he felt a searing pain across his shoulder. Screaming, he managed to turn his head to side and came face to face with a large wolf head, amber eyes glaring into his and large teeth clamped onto his shoulder.
He was tossed from side to side, teeth clamping down even harder into muscle and bone.
Air then whistled past him as JD realized he was flying through the air and then hit the ground hard and skidded a few feet into the grass.
Amongst the pain in the shoulder and now his leg and other arm, he blinked past the darkness that threatened to send him unconscious and slowly got to his feet. JD pushed past the pain and did a limping type jog as he tried valiantly to save Casey.
“CASEY!!!” JD yelled out.
But the beast or wolf, JD wasn’t sure, was done ravaging Casey’s body and had now turned its sights on him.
Maybe luck was with him that day, although JD would vehemently deny that, but the whoop-whoop sound of a police cruiser brought nothing but relief to him and he watched as the creature ran away, bounding along the path and disappearing into a patch of trees.
He didn’t hear the police call out to him in warning as he fell to his knees and then face first into the grass as he passed out from the pain and the trauma of his fiancé being eaten in front of him.
