Dorian was ever the gentleman, and it was a shame that this relationship didn't work out, but he would always be a friend to her, although after this she was probably going to need a little space. It wasn't as if they could slip back into a pre-romantic relationship all at once, she was going to need a little time to process the break up, although she was certain it wouldn't take her very long, it was an amicable break up. Immy slipped her hand over Dorian's and held it for a couple of seconds, gazing at him. He really was an amazing man, but now was not their time and she doubted it ever would be. Still, it had been a pleasure. "Thank you for a delicious meal," And it truly had been tasty, "You're an excellent cook." She took his hand away from her face and leant forward to place a kiss on his cheek. "Goodnight, Dorian." Immy pulled the font door open and with one last glance at Dorian, left his lovely home.

The ease of conversation was wonderful, but that was how all their dates started. There was never a problem with being able to connect with one another, there was a problem with seeing a date through. New relationships couldn't afford to be difficult, they took time and nurturing, and without that it wasn't going to stand a chance. No matter how much either of them wanted more, the truth of the matter was that they couldn't nurture a new relationship together, so was there anything they could do? Well, yes, but Immy didn't much like the thought of it, even if it seemed inevitable. Dorian's words were kind but they held a tone of sorrow. It clicked for Immy that Dorian was feeling much the same way as her, only he was further along in the progression of what needed to happen next. She was only slowly coming to the conclusion that things were better before, but it seemed that perhaps Dorian, a perceptive Auror, had seen it coming for a little while. Immy smiled, a sad sort of smile but she was happy, too. She was glad that they had given this a shot, because had they not she might have been left wondering 'what if', well right now, she knew. She placed her hand on top of Dorian's. "I understand." She said, feeling as though you could hear crickets chirp were it not for the light background music. All those fond memories had happened as friends, their dates held a certain charm, but it wasn't the same, nor what a relationship should be, really. "Our time together has been incredible, you have given me so many fond memories that I will always cherish."

Immy had a quick glance about as Dorian took her cloak. His home wasn't exactly what she imagined, but it did suit him. "The merlot would be lovely, thanks." She smiled. She was very much accustomed to a good red, from Tinto de Verano and Sangria on her Spanish side of the family, to mulled wine, a winter classic at home on her English side. She was by no means some kind of wine snob, almost the opposite, really, she'd drink just about any kind of wine and be happy with it, just so long as it wasn't sour. Bitter was fine, but sour was a big no. "It's nice to have an evening where we can both have a drink." She mused out loud. Usually either she or Dorian was on call which meant not being able to indulge in a stronger than juice drink, but with tonight's evening clear for them both, they'd be able to have a proper toast to a proper date, even if it was their only one.

Another date. Immy looked forward to spending time with Dorian, she truly did, but everything seemed to get in their way. She wanted tonight to go well because, honestly, nothing ever went well for them. Before they'd started dating they'd had trips to the library with Ariel but that was all in friendship, now they were trying to take things to another level, it seemed the universe was putting up protest to every date they had. She would be called off to work or he would. There was always something coming between them meaning they'd never finished a date. It was too strenuous for a new relationship, add to that a child and Immy felt certain that this wasn't something that would work out. It was sad, Dorian was a lovely guy, and Immy could see them having a wonderful relationship, but not right now. The time just wasn't right for either of them. She wasn't going to leave the job she loved over a guy she barely knew and she wouldn't want Dorian to even think about leaving his job. They were in jobs with high demands, there was no changing that. The best they could do was make the most of tonight and talk about what to do next, surely she wasn't the only one to have noticed threat dating one another seemed near impossible. Immy pulled her left hand through her cloak and checked her watch and then rang the doorbell, she was precisely on time. A meal at Dorian's home seemed intimate, he was inviting her into her home on a romantic level and Immy wasn't too sure that was entirely a good thing but part of her was just excited to see Dorian again.

Immy almost jumped back in her seat when an owl appeared in the literal middle of their date with a message. Dorian took the letter it came with and seemed rather disheartened. Immy knew immediately what was going on. While St Mungo's did not send owls, she knew what it was to be called away when you were enjoying yourself. That was the downside to both of their chosen careers, unfortunately. "No, no." She said, smiling, certainly disappointed but she couldn't allow him to escort her home if he was urgently needed. "You're needed. I'll be fine, honestly." It was certainly a memorable first date. Immy had the fortune of never having been called away on a first date before, but she had been called away on dates. At least in her profession she had the luxury of knowing when she was on call, as an auror she supposed Dorian had no idea when he might be called in for one of his cases. Immy stood from her seat and tucked it back in, picking up her coat and sliding it over her shoulders. Even though their date was cut short, it wasn't even in her top ten worst dates, for one Dorian paid without even checking if they were splitting the bill, he just took it upon himself, although that didn't surprise her, she couldn't ever imagine he'd be the sort to ever insist on a woman paying her own way, even on the worst date imaginable. "I've had a lovely evening." She smiled, hoping that was at least some sort of comfort to Dorian after having to cut their date short.

Immy chuckled at Dorian's quip about his friend while she ate. She liked Chinese food but it wasn't something she ate often. Usually she ate foods her grandmother had taught her to cook however Immy didn't have any idea of how to reduce the portion but maintain the flavour so she often cooked enough food to feed thirty people. She'd usually invite friends over, try and give it away at work and use it for lunch the following day, and night. Thankfully it was always delicious enough that she never got tired of it. "I don't eat at a lot of restaurants. I guess when I get home I just don't fancy going out, usually." Work could be exhausting. Im liked to keep a good balance and would see her friends either at her place or their, occasionally they'd go out, but most nights she just liked to relax at home. "My abuela taught me to cook, though it often means I could feed a small army when I make a meal." she smiled, taking her glass of wine, "I'll cook for you soon, I'm certain that you'll love my abuela's recipes." She took a sip of her wine, thinking that perhaps, if tonight went well, then maybe he could come to hers for their second date, and she could cook one of her abuela's most delicious recipes.

Dorian was playful and polite all at once. Had she not already been smiling, he would have put a smile on Immy's face. "Oh," She said, her hand instinctively moving to her brooch, her fingers gently caressing the edges of the brooch. "I've had it forever. It was a gift from my abuela a long time ago." Her hand dropped from the brooch as they carried on walking. The stroll was nice, the snowman they passed on the pavement put another smile on Immy's face, it was good to see the kid shaving fun with the snow. It wasn't something they got all too often here in the city, it was good to see that someone was making the most of it.

Immy didn't mind the small talk on the way to the restaurant. She was happy to hear about how Ariel was enjoying her visits to the library, although she did hope things would get a little more date-like once they were in a date-like setting. It wasn't easy to go from being friends to dating, Immy wanted to be careful that if dating wasn't the right path for them, that they could still be friends again after. "Have you been to China?" She enquired curiously while taking the seat Dorian had pulled out for her, a little surprised that he may have been somewhere as exotic as China, although she probably shouldn't have been. As an Auror his job would probably have taken him all over the globe! Immy was fascinated with travelling, and she did like to get away every now and then, but most of her time spent travelling was just between England and Spain, so much so that her grandparents home in Spain was basically a second home to her.
