For most people, it was probably the most boring and unromantic date night to be had.
She messaged him at 6 when she left the office to announce she was coming over with dinner. An hour later she rang his bell, her work bag worn across the shoulder and take-out in a handheld bag. They ate in relative quiet and then sat down to pick up work where they left off-- also in relative quiet.
Kimina for her part liked it. The relationship (insofar as the word applied) was unobtrusive and easy. The fact that Kuranosuke didn't feel a need to fill the time with small talk was a plus, and being in the same industry gave them conversation topics that were productive on two levels when they did talk.
She adjusted her sitting position on the sofa, looking up as Kuranosuke started the coffee maker. Possibly he just wanted something to drink; coffee to her signaled that either physical or mental fatigue was setting in. It wouldn't be a surprise, either. It was the end of a long week.

"Time for a break?" She asked.
