VIGNETTE
"Your wine, sir!" the young man said, and popped the cork. He poured for them, and then left the bottle in the cooler on the little table by their side.
"Wine! What's the occasion, Kyle?" Diana asked avoiding his gaze.
"If you have to ask, Diana, then why are we here?" He touched his glass to hers, and caught her chin in his other hand, raising her face and waiting till she looked at him.
When Diana looked up, he smiled, and she watched as his eyes crinkled, his lips curved upwards, his cheeks sank into deep pooling dimples. If she had ever thought that she was "over" him, this one moment proved her wrong. "Cheers!" she said, dragging her gaze from his, and touching her glass to his.
"What shall we drink to?" he wondered, watching her averted face. When she did not respond, he continued, "Let's drink to friendship, then. Like I promised, and you always reminded me, we should always be friends." He touched his glass to hers again, and took a gulp of his drink, to stop himself from saying all the things he knew he should not say.

Thanks, Nik! :)
Don't trust a man with deep pooling dimples is the clue. - This was a good write showing everything you should not trust in a man, but a glass of wine can always do the trick - well thought out
*smiles* Thanks, Pat!
Oh look there's a little love heart in the left glass of wine. Maybe its a sign. You are a good storyteller :)
Thank you very much! :)
