They made a go at having a proper date ages ago.

Before the vampire, before new Torchwood, before Jack had come and gone. Before that New Year's Eve.

He'd like to think that it's the nature of both of their lives that means he hasn't had time for this before now, but he knows it's a lie. Owen promised Tosh a proper date well over a year ago, and it's time he finally got on with it.

He sends off a text to Tosh a bit late in the day, well after he's sure she's already gone down to the subway station they're calling Torchwood to do some work.

had dinner yet? come over.

Maybe a bit more notice wouldn't have gone amiss, but ultimately, Owen thinks it'll be better this way.

His message makes her smile, and Tosh knows that even had she ordered the Pad Thai she'd been thinking of, that she would have simply paid for it and gone on to do whatever it was he might suggest.

be there in twenty

It's not a lot of time. Enough to try a ponytail before deciding to leave it down, and to unearth a lip gloss from her bag. She tries not to rush to his place, but still finds herself pausing to catch her breath before she knocks on his door.
