The unlikely pair waltzed through the massive swinging glass doors and into the lush, red-carpet anointed lobby of Le Chateau looking confused, amazed, and slightly embarrassed that they were most definitely underdressed for the restaurant.

A piano player was tinkling away at the keys with an upbeat, but sedate, jazz tune that made Garnet feel warm deep down inside, almost like she had wandered into some kind of lost memory of 1920s Paris. “I sorta expect to see Faulkner and Hemingway sitting at one of these tables with a pile of wine bottles splayed out in front of them.”

Stacy nervously adjusted his jacket’s wrist cuff. “I don’t think I’ve ever felt like an alien before. Look at all this stuff.” He turned his head toward a massive chandelier and stared at it, slightly entranced. “If I touched that thing, it would probably shatter and I’d spend the rest of my life paying it off.”

“It is faux crystal,” a soft voice with a decided French accent said, followed with a soft laugh. “The real crystal ones are above. We’d never leave something like that within a child’s possible grip. Too many bad things could happen. I’m Maurice, your waiter for the evening. Come this way.”

The two of the stunned, slightly agape shifters followed the tall, lithe man in the tuxedo through a crowded dining room that was absolutely alive with genteel conversation, clinking glasses, and soft laughter. On the other side, there was a stairwell leading up. “This way, please,” Maurice said, letting the two of them ascend first. “This is our private balcony. From here you can see the town, the sunset, and sometimes, if you’re lucky, a storm boiling up on the horizon.” He went to pull out Garnet’s chair, but Stacy moved past him with surprising agility, and the two men exchanged smiles.

Garnet sat, Stacy sat, and the two of them weren’t quite sure how to take the waiter placing their napkins and pouring their water. They watched like they were observing a different world unfolding around them. “Do we have menus?” Stacy asked when Maurice went to leave.

“Oh, no, sir,” he said with a smile that stretched his thin moustache taut. “We’ve already got your orders. The chef d’cuisine will shortly be coming to meet with you and discuss the selections. What sort of wine would you like to start?”

“Uh, a lot?” Garnet said with a nervous laugh. “I mean, I—”

“I usually drink Coors,” Stacy said. “I know about as much about wine as most normal people know about... I dunno, cracking safes.”

Maurice smiled. “I’ll send our sommelier over too, then. Don’t worry – you’re in good hands. Your friends have made sure you’re going to have the time of your lives.”

“I get the feeling that with this girl? I’d have the time of my life at a McDonalds,” Stacy said, taking Garnet’s hand and smiling to beat the stars.

“Yeah, and I’m pretty sure you could melt a glacier with that tongue of yours.”

“You ain’t seen nothin’ yet,” Stacy said, giving a wink to Maurice, who departed somehow without cracking up.
