“Hi, Gorgeous,” Finbar smiled, looking and feeling even more relaxed now that Cho was here. If – and that was a pretty big ‘if’ – he had any hesitations about anything, it would have been that Cho might have been the type of girl who would have stood him up tonight, for the sole reason of proving that she wasn’t buying his excuses for what had happened the last time. But it turned out he had been right about her, because here she was, looking gorgeous even after a day at the office, which he was beginning to think was her default state.
“Long day?” he asked, holding out his hand to her as he pushed off from the wall and came to greet her with a kiss on the cheek.
