        Welcome to this week's Tuesday Tales to the word prompt - Smooth.  This is a rough draft so please excuse the mistakes.  Hope you enjoy.                                      Dinner had been wonderful.   Lorenzo had taken her out to an Italian restaurant, where he ordered all her favorite foods.   Not once during dinner did he mention anything about then. The conversation had been general with them talking about the weather, the baseball season.   After dinner they drove down Hylan Boulevard to Father Capodanno. “I thought we would take walk along the boardwalk before stopping at the South Finn for a night cap.   What do you think?” he asked pulling into the parking lot by the dolphins. “I’d love that.   I have my pair of flats in my pocketbook. “That’s great.   This way I don’t have to worry about the heel of your shoe getting caught be tween the boards.” He opened her car door.   She slid out with Lorenzo sliding his
