He half listened to the waiter as he described the evenings offerings, ordering oysters and the bouillabaisse. He covertly watched Tessa as she asked a question or two and then ordered tentatively. She was clearly rattled, at least to him.
When the waiter departed, they sat for a minute in an awkward silence. Chris savored his champagne, and glanced to nearby bus boy clearing a table. "That brings back memories," he said casually.
When Tessa looked at him questioningly, he continued, "One of my first jobs was in a restaurant, nothing nearly this fancy."
He took another sip, looking distantly, "My family didn't have much. I wanted to help, so managed to talk a local guy into paying me under the counter to do dishes and such. It was a crap job, but it got me started."
He looked over at Tessa again, his face softer, "I'm sorry if I.. embarrassed you a moment ago. I meant what I said."
Then a grin came to his face, "and I am never wrong."
He settled back into his seat at the waiter arrived with their hors d'oeuvres. He delighted in watching Tessa enjoy herself, and wondered what could be between them.
