Gabby - Hawaii Five-0 - Steve/Danny - 100 Words
Date: 2013-02-25 08:58 am (UTC)=======
Gabby's bright red dress looks absolutely stunning.
If first impressions could kill, he'd be on the ground, blood seeping into the concrete.
He takes her hand and guides them to the reserved table, giving her a small nervous smile.
'You don't have to be nervous. She's a great gal.'
Steve's voice echos in his head, his level-headed comfort in matchmaking is frightening.
Gabby works at a local museum and is a total history buff.
Danny finds himself in the situation he feared before tonight.
He likes her.
Dessert is delicious, and they say their good-byes.
She promises to call.
