A Dinner

ZAIA. “I love this place,” Atticus says as he sits back as the waitress walks away after taking our orders. We are in a dimly lit, stunning restaurant that serves a variety of cuisines; the booths are covered with lush green velvet and the woodwork is all a deep mahogany.

Chandeliers hang above each table and we both head to the back into one of the semi- permanent booths which are covered from three sides.

I nod, glancing around before I lean back against the lush seats. “We do come here often,” I say, adjusting the strap to my dark blue dress.

He nods, watching me. His eyes soften, and I feel his eyes skim over me. “You look beautiful tonight, but when don’t you?”

I look up at him, my heart skipping a beat as tension falls between us.

“Thanks.” Today is the first time we’re meeting properly alone since the proposal. I am so lost in my own thoughts and what I am going to ask him tonight that I forgot that part.

“We do come here often.” He says, clearing his throat. “Yet I still never succeed in wooing you.” I smile. That is one of Atticus’s talents. He can lighten the mood easily.

Tilting my head, I raise an eyebrow. “Are you certain you’re in your late twenties? Because I think you might be younger than me with the things you say.” I tease. ” Wooing? Who uses that word?”

“I do.” He says, smiling slightly. There’s a sadness in his eyes but although I feel sorry for him, there is nothing I can offer him. I don’t feel the attraction that he does for me.
