He laughed at her reaction and gave her a big smile, "I'm just teasing, and you've no need to worry, I'm most certainly enjoying myself. You're a wonderful hostess," he said raising his glass and draining it of its contents.
"Of course!" he always loved to try her new combinations. Some were a bit...off, but he never hesitated to tell her - honesty is the best policy after all - and a large majority of the time they were delicious so he had nothing to worry about. She had a certain knack for it. He grinned, "No no, I'll try the new one! I can't wait. It'll be nice with the shortcake." He patted his stomach a bit and let his eyes wander around the room. "You know, I was going to eat at the pub tonight, I'm glad you asked me over," he said his eyes flicking over to meet hers, a lopsided smile on his face, "Thank you for having me. I'm having a wonderful time."
