(UK POV)
it was UK and France's marriage anniversary today
even though UK's children are grown up, he has to always leave them with a babysitter when going on dates because they will tear the house down if otherwise
last time that happened... the house was set on fire and they were fight with one another
even though UK rarely spend time with wife and rather work on his economy but today was their anniversary and France already made preparations for a fancy date a 5 star restaurant so...
UK prepares to go to the restaurant with France but not before saying bye to their children with the babysitter and setting ground rules for reasons... (cough USA cough cough)
UK and France get in the car before France says her final bye to her kids
France: finally we get to go on a proper date after a long while mon chéri France excitedly says, she helps UK adjust his tie before they go
