He softly smiled, "My pleasure, Amber. I was enjoying our chat outside and figured we could continue in comfort."
Chris was a bit unsure of what to say. It wasn't often he had a quick date with someone he had only met shortly before. Still, he hoped his charm and easy going demeanor would take over.
"I had them bring out some wine," he stated, "if you prefer something else, I can order it."
A waiter arrived and greeted himself, handing menus to each of them. "Good to see you again, Mr. DeGarmo." He then nodded to Amber, "Ma'am, let me know when you're ready to order. We have a few specials on fish as we got a rare shipment in from Honshu. I'll be back in a few minutes."
Chris went off the specials menu, ordering a Mahi fish dinner. As Amber looked at hers, he began some small talk, "A Kusari father and a Corsair mother. An interesting combination. A lot of honor in that blood mix. Makes for a better background than my growing up on planet Los Angeles."
