She shook her head, smiling politely. "I don't care for wine, but thank you for the offer."
The waitress nodded and went to get the wine.

He raised an eyebrow to form a pleasant, but curious expression. "I'd have assumed an artist would prefer wine over other drinks."

"I enjoy champagne over everything else, but that is only for special occasions. Tea is my preferred beverage."

He nodded gently. "That makes sense. I prefer a glass of wine in the evenings, but I do try not to drink too heavily."

She nodded. "I see. Well, I don't enjoy drunks, so I guess that's nice." She smiled as the waitress arrived with the wine

He thanked the waitress politely and smiled back to her. "Would you like an appetizer this evening, or are we headed straight for the main course?"

"Oh, I'm not too hungry this evening. We can just go straight to the main course if that is alright with you." She ignored the immense hunger in her stomach, instead plastering the same smile on her face.

"Are you sure..? I had my eye on the shrimp cocktail platter, but it would be far too much for a starter for just me."

"Mmm..." She looked down as her stomach growled quietly, sighing to herself. "...If you insist."

He flashed a quick grin to her, then quickly ordered the platter.

The waitress nodded as she wrote the order down. "I will be back with that shortly." She hurried away to the kitchen.
Lily took another sip of her water uncomfortably.

Chris let the silence linger for just long enough before asking Lily, "Are you enjoying yourself, Miss Branom?"

"Is there anything else in particular that it would interest you to talk about?"

"Why haven't you married yet?" She asked bluntly.

He chuckled softly and shrugged nonchalantly. "I suppose I haven't met the right girl yet. And you?"

She laughed auietly, looking down at herself. "Isn't it obvious?"

"Not particularly," he replied calmly, though it was somewhat of a lie. "You're an interesting girl, after all. You have talents, interests, and a good head on your shoulders. I'm surprised nobody has realized that and snapped you up."

She scoffs. "No one cares about those things, not even my mother. It's only the outside that matter."

"If only the outside mattered, do you really think I would have insisted on an appetizer?" he asked gently.

She blinked. "Maybe you did it to mock me... I've had it happen before."

He sighed softly, then shook his head. "Miss Branom, that would be a waste of your time and mine, not to mention the fact that it would simply be cruel."

She shrugs. "I suppose so, but others didn't care, so why would you?"

He smiled again, thanked the waitress, and snagged a shrimp.

Chris casually snacked on the shrimp in a hope that it would make her feel more comfortable.

She ate the shrimp quietly as well, still not looking up at him.
