"I know a great little place for dinner, if you don't mind the rats. Sometimes it's a little noisy and crowded, but there's this corner booth where we could have some quiet space. And as for cards and dancing later... well, I have a private room in mind for that."
For a long time, he was anything but comfortable around Faye. They've always had this flirtation bubbling just beneath the surface threatening to break through, but he never really imagined it would. And because of that, he moved in this uncomfortable little dance around her: uncertainty was the name of the game and it ruled and colored everything he did and said with her. But the flirtation refused to stay hidden for one reason or another, and he couldn't be happier about it. As he takes a sip of champagne, he can't keep the smile out of his eyes.
"Have I told you today just how beautiful you are?"
He knows he's showed her, but maybe he hasn't said the words. And if he hasn't, that would be a huge pity. And if he has, he bets Faye can stand to hear them again. In his mind, she's royalty and deserves to be treated as such.
