“ARE YOU KIDDING ME with this place? I’ve never eaten anywhere like this before. I’ve never even applied for a job at any place like this before. This is too much, Zach. You shouldn’t have done this.”

Zach couldn't stop watching Betty while she looked around the restaurant with wide-eyed wonderment. He had been to many, many restaurants, several of which were nicer than The Renegade, which was the new hot spot for affluent, trendy eaters. He dined in Michelin Star restaurants, and he had done it without thinking much of it, but he had never enjoyed a place as much as he was enjoying this one.

“I don’t think it’s too much at all,” he told her laughingly, “I think it’s just the right thing.”

“But honestly, Zach, have you looked at the prices on this menu? They’re insane!”

"No, actually, I haven't, and I would prefer it if you didn't, either. It spoils the whole experience." He smiled again and then nodded his thanks to their server, who had just appeared as silent as a ghost with a very expensive bottle of French wine. He could feel her watching him while he went through the whole ritual of opening and tasting, and his mind burned with the question of what she might be thinking. It took a great effort to keep from glancing at her, but he did it. He didn't want her to know that he cared. Instead, he tasted the wine and nodded for the server to pour them both a glass, then offered his glass in a toast.

“To our first date, Betty. The first of many more to come, I trust.”

"This is how you really live your life, isn't it?" she asked in an oddly dull voice. It wasn't exactly the response he was expecting, but there wasn't a lot about her that was panning out to be that way.

“I don’t really know how to answer that question. It isn’t how I live my life. It is my life. Just like anyone else’s.”

"You don't really think that, do you? That it's just like everyone else's life? Because I'm here to tell you that you're dead wrong. You could easily spend someone's month's rent here. Most people don't ever look at a place like this, let alone sit down at a table." Zach watched her face closely and didn't know what to make of it. She didn't look angry, and she didn't sound angry, either, but the words she was saying didn't exactly sound impressed, either. He cleared his throat, took a sip of wine, and tried again. He was going to have to be more careful with what he said to this woman, and that wasn't something he was used to doing.

“That’s not what I meant, Betty. Please, I don’t want to offend you. That’s not my intent. Why would I want to bring you here just to piss you off?”

“I guess you wouldn’t. I just–hey, what are you doing?” She stopped mid-sentence as he placed his hand lightly on her knee and started to move it slowly up the length of her thigh.
