“Nothing beats a failure but a try.”
    Julian chuckled and said, “You are absolutely right.”
    Angela heard the static of the walkie-talkie cut off.  Pressing the button on the side, she said, “Hello?” but heard nothing.
    Just then the same delivery man came in with another small box that was beautifully wrapped. Angie signed for the box and opened it.
    “So, is she your only delivery for today?” Toni said to him sarcastically.
    “You know I am SHOCKED that all of this isn’t being done for you… just ASTOUNDED,” the delivery man said shaking his head.
    “Your mother,” Toni said to him and they both laughed.
    Angela found a beautiful formal invitation, nestled in between black tissue paper.
    The invitation was a unique layered invitation, with a sheer vellum top layer featuring Julian’s initials and the bottom layer had the words:
    The honor of your presence is requested
    at a first date for
    Julian McKenna
    And
    Angela McMillian
    on Saturday, the eighteenth of November
    two thousand fourteen
    at ten o’clock in the morning
    at the
    Delaney Vineyards and Winery
    Lake Cross, North Carolina
    Wine tasting and hors d'oeuvres will be provided
    Following a formal dinner
    at the Grape Vine.
    Please bring appropriate dress .
     
    A satin ribbon secured the top and bottom layers.
    Angela could not believe what she was seeing.  This was the most beautiful and amazing thing she had ever seen. She heard the crackling of the walkie-talkie again and then heard Julian’s voice.
    “Will you?” he said.
    Angela was still so shocked at all of this that she looked at the delivery man and Toni for help.
    “If you don’t say yes, I will,” the delivery man said.
    “I am pretty sure you have too much penis for him,” Toni said to him laughing, shaking her head and laughing at the bond she had made in sarcasm with the delivery man very quickly. Pressing the button on the walking talkie, Angela took a deep breath and took the plunge.
    “Yes, I will,” she said. The delivery man left the office but returned very quickly with another beautifully decorated box that was huge.
    “Oh my God,” she said looking at Toni.
    “Well, stop looking at me and open it!  I want to see what it is. This is too good,” she said smiling.
    “Me too,” the delivery man said.
    “Don’t you have something to do?” Toni said laughing.
    “Not until I see what is in that box,” he said.
    Angela pulled the extra-large purple ribbon and opened the lid of the box.  Inside was a Navy Sheath Column V-neck short Mini-Tulle Charmeuse cocktail dress with lace beading sequins, silver stilettos and purse to match. It was the most beautiful dress she had ever seen. The shoes and dress were exactly the right size. ‘How did he know?’ she thought smiling.
    “Do you like it?” Julian said over the walkie-talkie. He was hoping that she had gotten the box open.
    “Yes, it’s beautiful, Julian. But how did you know my sizes? I can’t accept this,” she said.
    “WHAT?” Toni said. “Yes, she can!” she yelled but Angela was not holding the button so Julian could not hear her.
    “Sweetie, I have studied your delectable curves for a long time from a distance now.  I bet I know your cup size. You already agreed to the date and the dress comes with the date. So I will see Saturday morning. Right?” he said.
    Both the delivery man and Toni were nodding their heads ‘yes’.
    Shaking her head and laughing to herself at how invested this delivery man had gotten in this experience, Angela pressed the button and said, “Yes.”

 
    CHAPTER 9
    “Are you ready?” Toni asked Angela. She had gotten up at seven a.m. full of nervous energy about going out with Julian for an entire day. She had made a small breakfast basket of pumpkin muffins and vanilla coffee which was Julian’s favorites, with an assortment of fruit. Angela wanted them to at least have a snack on the hour and forty-five minute drive to the winery. 
    “Yes, I am ready.
