The Second Date: Chicago
One week after their first real date, Chicago was thawing just enough for the sidewalks to glisten with melting slush under streetlights.
The polar vortex had retreated, leaving behind air that felt almost breathable, the faint promise of spring buried somewhere beneath the January gray.
The texts that morning had been light at first, then turned raw in the way only they could manage:
Maren (9:12 a.m.)
Tonight. My place. 8 p.m.
No dress code.
Just you.
I’m cooking.
Claire (9:14 a.m.)
Are you cooking?
Should I bring the Fire extinguisher?
Maren (9:15 a.m.)
Rude.
Bring wine.
And nothing else.
Claire (9:17 a.m.)
Nothing else?
Bold.
Maren (9:18 a.m.)
You’ll see.
Claire (9:20 a.m.)
You’re making me nervous.
Maren (9:22 a.m.)
Good.
I’m nervous too.
Claire (9:24 a.m.)
You don’t get nervous.
Maren (9:26 a.m.)
I do when it’s you.
When it’s real.
Claire (9:28 a.m.)
Then let it be real.
Maren (9:30 a.m.)
It already is.
At 7:58 p.m., Claire stood outside Maren’s apartment door in Lincoln Park—simple black coat over dark jeans and a soft charcoal sweater that clung just enough, hair loose and still slightly damp from the shower.
She carried a bottle of the same Barolo they’d shared at Carbone in Vegas, wrapped in brown paper like a secret.
She didn’t knock.
She turned the handle—the door was unlocked.
The apartment smelled like garlic, rosemary, red wine, and cedar.
Warm light spilled from the living room—only lamps on, no harsh overheads.
A low jazz playlist drifted from hidden speakers (Miles Davis, muted trumpet, slow and intimate).
The space was spare, elegant: dark wood floors, white walls, a single large abstract painting above the sofa that looked like a storm captured mid-rage.
Maren stood at the kitchen island, sleeves rolled to her elbows, dark hair tied back in a loose knot.
She wore a fitted black T-shirt and charcoal joggers—casual in a way Claire had never seen, domestic, unguarded.
She was stirring something in a wide pan, the scent of simmering tomato sauce and fresh basil rising in thick, comforting waves.
Claire closed the door softly.
Maren looked up.
For a moment, neither moved.
Then Maren set the wooden spoon down, wiped her hands on a dish towel, and crossed the open space in three strides.
She didn’t speak.
She took Claire’s face in both hands and kissed her—slow, deep, tasting faintly of the red wine she’d already opened, the faint salt of her skin, the warmth of the kitchen clinging to her clothes.
Claire’s coat slipped from her shoulders to the floor.
The wine bottle was gently taken from her fingers and set on the entry table.
When they broke apart, Maren’s forehead rested against Claire’s.
“You’re early,” she murmured, voice rough with something tender.
“I couldn’t wait,” Claire whispered.
Maren’s laugh was low, happy, a little shaky.
“Come here.”
She led Claire to the kitchen island, poured two glasses of the Barolo—deep ruby liquid catching the pendant light overhead.
