She asked him something again and Tibor finally awoke from his numbness.
"Wh-what?" he asked her.
She grinned and asked him again: "Do you like to meet at the museum tomorrow? I´ve heard that they have a nice exhibition this month and I would like to go to see it together with you!"
Tibor later thought, that he must have looked like the dumbest man on earth, when he finally realized that she asked him for a date. And he was a bit ashamed that she had to ask him, wouldn´t that have been his job?
They agreed to meet the next afternoon, she hugged him gently and was gone.
Tibor only realized that he was still standing there, thinking of her warmth, when Leo tipped him, at first smoothly, and then a bit harder. He was hungry and didn´t understand why his master was just standing there in the deep snow and grinning like a Cheshire cat!
At the next day Tibor was at the museum way too early!

While Tibor went in, Leo ran around in the snow.

As Tibor stood there, looking at some art, pretending to interested, he sensed suddenly her presence! His heart made a jump! He turned to her and was again shocked by her beauty. In order not to grin stupidly again, he thought of a book he once read.

Leo came in and greeted his friend, hoping for some share of kindness and affection.

While Serena played with Leo, Tibor tried to stop another dog from destroying some art. (Well, he wanted to show off a bit!)

Then Tibor finally overcame his shyness and began to feel very comfortably in her company. He even had the heart to tell her a funny story and when she laughed, his heart made a happy jump. Oh, how he loved her little giggles!

When the museum closed, they hugged each other again and they went home.
