:Moira had come to New York days before to attend an important meeting with Worthington Labs on something they had discovered and that scientist had not confided in her when contacted. Before Moira before attending the meeting, she wanted to contact Charles, and inviting him to dinner. Moira had a great desire to see him again, he had not visited her in Muir Island nor she had visited him at Westchester School. She could have gone to school, but had preferred to take him to dinner, she knew he could be busy with new students and classes.
She sent him an email informing Charles that she was in New York.
"My dear Charles"
"I am in New York to attend a meeting with Worthington labs. For many months now we do not see, so I invite you to dinner tonight at the best restaurant in Westchester County, the Panetiere. French food is delicious, I assure you this. The address is; 530 Milton Road Rye, Westchester County . 10580. New York.
I'll wait at you at nine o'clock there.
A kiss
Your friend.
Moira Kinros.
She had signed with her maiden name, surname MacTaggert, she always had hated since her marriage to Joe. Moira never told Charles because she had broken their commitment to marriage. She always had concealed the true reason and it was because Joe had threatened her if Moira did not marry him, he would kill Charles, who did not know the dark side of his friend. She had to obey to protect her. Joe raped her and abused her in a degrading. Those were memories that she did not want to relive. Because of Joe, she did not remarry for fear to come back to hurt her. Charles was the only man whom she trusted, no one else.
Now she was sitting at a table in the restaurant, elegantly prepared, next to large windows, candlelight, the sound of soft music, the waiters came and went. For dinner, Moira had chosen to wear a black evening dress , simple but adhered to the forms of her body. She was not the only one who was there, the restaurant was full of couples, marriages of young lovers. She looked out the window and waited impatiently , she was a bit nervous and her stomach began to beat the wings of butterflies::

Charles had a long day and he was glad for the distraction. Time travel, illnesses and staff arrangement had made his week stressful to say the least slowly every one and every thing was getting back to normal. he was glad of the distraction that this meal would give him. No students to worry about, He was still questioning his choices of late and one of the largest was the time traveler Cable.
He did not want a man like that at the school Logan was bad enough. The problem with Cable was he was well a man who could lead the students astray. he did the wrong things for the right reason and he had the power and the technology to back it up. He just hoped that the students would not see him as an action hero or some thing.
Charles saw Moira at the table and smiled he adjusted his tie and suit before walking over. "as always you look lovely." he spoke softly as he stood close to her. "it is so good to see you again." A mix of feelings came flooding back to him with image of the woman a mix of happiness and regret.

When Moira saw Charles enters the restaurant, she smiled so happy, she was happy to see him again, so respected and elegant as ever. She remembered those years when they were much younger, professor of genetics, biophysics and psychology at Columbia, and she was just a simple student of genetics too focused on her career to enjoy life until she met to him . Both of them worked together in the laboratory of the university, they shared both ideas and many hours together working. Moira had long desired to return those days again. But both of them had major responsibilities, her mutant research center and he, Westchester school.
"And I am very happy that you've agreed with come to dinner, Charles". She watched for a moment, he was the same as always, as she remembered. "You've always had a good taste in choosing wine". She rose from her chair when the waiter went to fetch the wine bottle, she approached Charles and she puts a hand on his shoulder and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek. Moira could smell the delicate scent of aftershave which was to always, the same as she remembered. "I'm glad to see you, you a businessman really busy". Moira sat opposite him and took the menu to start choosing dinner. "I am hungry, my dear." Glanced at the names of the dishes. "I do not remember my french".She laughed a little looking over the letter of the menu. "I'm gonna make a fool when you have to ask what I want to eat the waiter. Prefer your dinner already?, Or do you want to enjoy wine before? . Ahhh...and this dinner I pay". Said to him without meeting his eyes while trying to remember the meaning of a french word. "Carnard' was duck, in French, right Charles? "

"would you like me to order for both of us? Yes the school has never had so many students more and more are coming and that is good." he did not tell her that things were changing faster than he hopped. " I am also happy that i am her. I just wish it had not been so long since the last time. so how are you well i hope."
It was small talk and right now that was fine. He did not truly know what to say to her there was so much he could say to her but he did not feel it was right to bring it up. she had or was still married to some one and he was not the kind of person to have an affair.

"It's great that the school is growing little by little, Charles. Your students will be safe there with you and they never will have a better teacher than you " She asked for her meal, duck with orange french style that looked delicious. "Better that you choose the wine, Charles. You've always been good at that. Yes, yes. I'm fine, I divorced of Joseph and working hard on Muir Island mutant that come to me for help. I have no time to myself. But for dinner with a good old friend, I always I have time".She smiled a little timidly, feeling a lump in throat. "The Worthington company called me for to talk with me. I dont know which is the reason Charles. But I do not like. I do not know, I have a strange feeling that something will go wrong" She gracefully dropped the napkin on the thighs.

"if you want i could talk to His son he is a student at the school. I do not know what his relationship with her father is but there is no harm in asking. If you are worried about the meeting i can sit in or send Jean in with you?" He gave her a smile his hart jumped when she said that she had become devoiced. He told the waiter which wine he wanted. " i do hope you like it?"
So Worthington labs were talking to mutant centers."it could be that theyare interested in helping with your work or they could be trying to use it for some reason."

"Thanks Charles, the truth is I do not know what to think about Worthington Company. Please I feel very safe if you speak with your child to ask about the latest research has been done. His father hated him mutants wants to cure his son". She looked at Charles over the wine glass. "I would be happier if you come with me to the reunion Charles, please. I do not like to go alone. "
That wine was delicious, she smiled with shy eyes. "The wine is delicious, Charles. I knew that you knew to choose the wine mentioned ... If they are interested in my work, first I have to know what your intentions"
At that time began to be heard one song, one of the two songs they danced when they were young. "Charles, dance with me, please. Do you remember this song?.'s dance the last day on which you left the army. " She already had risen from the chair and approached Xavier had offered her hand.

"how could i forget?" he stood up and offered her his hand. It had been so long since he had danced. he took her in his arms as they moved about on the dance floor. so many old memories came flooding back to him as they danced.
"Yes he did try and cure his son. He did this because he believed that he was saving him. It was the wrong action of the right reasons. he loves his son and only wanted the best for him." it was true the man was good at hart and he did hope that the two of them could form a bond. It would show the world that mutan ts and humans could work side by side.

She smiled when he accepted that dance and now he could walk, everything was perfect. So many years that they did not enjoy being together, enjoy dinner, a dance. Now it was happening again.
Moira slipped her arm around his neck and took his hand. She began dancing with him, step by step, slowly, enjoying that music. Body against body. Moira delicate cheeks were covered with a delicate color when she looked at him.
He could feel the feelings of others as well, if he felt the Moira's one, he would discover the real truth. "Then come with me?. I do not want to go alone to the Worthington company. " Moira since she was dancing with him dared to look into his eyes.

"Thank you Charles." Moira smiled as he moved along with the music, along with him. When he looked at her in the eye, Moira flushed, his eyes could know everything. "I am very happy to see you again Charles. If you want I can go to Westchester to visit, many years ago that I would not, since we were both ....". She did not say that word and gave thanks to the music was over for not meeting his eyes. "I have a desire to see the kids. Being a few days there. If you do not have any problem."
When they both arrived at the table, gave thanks to Xavier Moria when he pulled her chair out for her. He's always such a gentleman, so helpful to women ... and now he could walk, everything was very different, he was independent, he ought not to depend on anyone anymore. "Charles .... about your private life ... do not have a girlfriend?. No woman next to you?. If I say no, I do not believe me. Because it is impossible that you, a man of your education and position is without a woman at his side. "She sat and moved the silver spoon to remove the coffee had brought.
