Alex's lips curved into a grin as he spotted Sonnie's approach. There was something to admire about how even her wardrobe complimented her nature. He waved to catch her attention, "Hey Sonnie, how are you? You look great!" He pauses a moment before he lifts the container with the corsage, "I thought the traditional gift of flowers might be a bit cumbersome since I was meeting you here. I hope you'll enjoy this instead."
His head turned at the familiar voice, "Hey there. You're the woman from the coffee shop aren't you?" He thinks for a moment, "Was it... Sarah?" His eyes shifted to her guest, "Good evening! I'm Alex." He extended a complimenting hand to Rhodes' free hand in an offer to shake it with the greeting.
After a short bit of small talk and introductions the Maître D' stands from his podium and swings open the ornate doors, signalling the time to enter and be seated. Upon entering the room, you see gold chairs lining a
lengthy table with a seasonal centerpiece. Each place at the table has been set with cloth napkins wrapping silver utensils, crystal glasses and
an appetizer plated over a gold charger. Name cards are placed at each seat and upon inspection the group can find ones marked "Alex, party of 4" around one of the back corners of the table, no doubt specifically requested to allow for easier conversation between the two pairs. After seating, the hosts make their way around to take drink orders.
"This is us," Alex remarked as he pulled out the chair nearest to the corner and motions for Sonnie to sit in it before claiming the seat to her left for his own.
In case I was terrible describing it:
