"Yeah, this is a good place. Their lasagna is killer. You'll have to try it."
He got a glint of tease in his eyes. "Hope you like squid cuz that what you're getting."
He winked at her. "But I'll let you try some of mine if you want."
The food came and they ate, talking of nothing much. He told her a few funny stories- well they were funny to him anyway. Stuff he'd gotten up to as a kid. Good times with Roman.
She told her own stories but there was something off about her. Half the time she was talking it was almost like she was just remembering, as if his words were prompting her. Mentally he shrugged. Wasn't a big deal either way. She was just different.
Cool though. He'd gotten some wine and was enjoying the slight buzz. He wasn't going to hit it hard, that was for sure. Last night was still with him. Mostly it made his meal taste better.
When he was finished, he asked for the check and then paid. Looking at his watch- he wore one even though it was kind of unnecessary since he had a wallet. It looked cool, after all. An accessory. After all, what did a tie do after all? Just add flair, color. Style. His watch- silver with a black face and just hands, no numbers- was another piece of that. So checked his watch and it was around 7.
He looked at her with a smile. "You ready to meet your mystery man? We can be early and I'll make sure my guys know what's up, just in case things fall apart."
