Rachel could feel Cruz’s eyes on her as he handed the coat to the woman. She also detected a hint of a smile on the woman’s face as well. She had caught his stare. It was okay. That was what she had wanted. The silence as they went to the table was endearing. She had chosen the right dress for tonight.
Cruz’s compliment was met with a lovely, inviting smile and an almost shy ”Thank you,” as Cruz ordered one of Rachel’s favorite Pinot Noir red.They may not have been seeing each other long or often, but he had paid attention.
She listened carefully to Cruz’s suggestion. ”That does sound good,” she did a quick flip through the menu anyways, but decided to go with that. ”The fancy is just seafood salad by the way,” she said with a disarming smile, her voice a tease.
The waitress came back and poured their wine, leaving the bottle. Rachel gave her order. ”I’ll have the surf and turf please. Steak medium rare.”
She let Cruz order and then turned to face him with a smile. ”Im so glad we could do this. I’ve missed you.” she had thought of him often since the wedding.
