Thomas was looking forward to the evening, as well. He and Estella had always flirted with one another, of course, but he'd been serious about taking her for drinks and reminding her of what a gentleman he could be. She was a beautiful woman, after all. He certainly wouldn't mind if it so happened that they acted on their playful, flirtatious banter.
"You are looking quite lovely, Miss Rosier," he greeted her with a smile, his hand reaching for hers to pull it to his lips. He pressed a light kiss to the back of her hand, his eyes never leaving hers.
