I agree, veggie ramen is never as good as the real stuff. Maybe next time we go out, I'll let you take us to your favorite ramen place. I hear there are some good ones around. All this talk of food is making me hungry. I hope the waitress comes to take--

[Speak the words and she shall appear. The current waitress was extremely kind and happened to recognize Dick. Thankfully when she attempted to flirt, he quickly informed her that he was on a date and while she seemed slightly surprised, she apologized and offered them a bottle of wine on the house. Dick was used to getting things by flirting, but this was the first time he got it by not flirting. He had to laugh.

That was the thing with money, everyone -- and that was everyone seemed to want a piece of him. He was usually safe in upper scale restaurants, but this was a new one that he'd been trying out.

Placing their order, he was assured it would be out quickly and that the food would be above par- Dick never expected anything less. He was pretty embarrassed by now, but that was his life in public, and while they hadn't run across a lot of that type of thing yet. It was bound to happen from time to time. ]

Sorry about that. At least we will have some nice wine in a few minutes to distract ourselves with.
