Then as we were going to our cars I was thinking that I should suggest to XH that we go for a drink and talk about his mother's health, but before I could say anything, XH said (as he was getting into his car) "So where is this place you're going to take me?" ........so XH DID remember that I had suggested that we go to this new restaurant afterward. We ended up eating and drinking for almost 2 hours.
