Eli stepped in and smiled at Verity as she ushered him inside her flat. He held up the two bottles of wine. "I brought two whites because I know you like white wine and I know they'll go well with the cheesecake," he said.
Eli shrugged out of his coat and handed it to Verity. "Thanks, and I'm glad I didn't have plans, too. I was going to get together with my family in Exeter but my sister had to unexpectedly take part in a special exhibition at the British Museum, so we're going to get together tomorrow. But tonight is about cheesecake."
