I return to the apartment to find that James has arranged a surprise dinner and that we have an extra guest: Daniel.
Not just about ‘dinner’ then….
Charlotte is doing the cooking, but her mind is on more than just food and her eyes repeatedly wander to the dark, handsome man James brought back.
I’d wondered what her cooking would be like when she’s left to herself, and it’s not bad, although I notice she’s picked dishes that are hard to make a mess of. Prawn cocktail is pretty much foolproof, and if you can’t produce a decent meal with steak and salad, you might as well give up. Still, it’s a good dinner and the four of us chat over the food for an hour or so.
Charlotte is noticeably quiet over the meal, a slight flush to her face and her eyes repeatedly wandering to Daniel.
James’ has brought him back as a ‘present’ for her…?
…. or for himself?
Either way, Charlotte is expectant, almost poised.
Hardly surprising with the fucking Daniel gave her on Valentine’s Day…
