A romantic dinner for two; the long dining room table is illuminated only by a tall candlestick on either side, the ham’s glaze glistens in the flickering light and the string quartet resins their bows in anticipation for the lady to arrive.
The man stands from his seat when she walks into the room. He has two glasses of wine that go straight to his head, and conversation continues without missing a beat. He tucks his napkin under his plate and puts his hand out for a dance; the quartet continues playing, albeit with an eyebrow raised…
The tapers’ wax glides down the golden candlesticks as the last light reflects of their mirrored stands. The quartet packs up, he tips them graciously as they walk away exchanging confused looks. The man suggests a walk; some fresh air would do them both good. He grabs a plastic bag and opens the door for her.
It’s not a night unlike another, but he’s gracious as they go to the bedroom together. She tries to get in his bed, as she’s done before, but he protests. He takes off her collar and she happily curls up on her pillow at the foot of his bed, wagging her tail.
