To say that Edie had surprised Garrick was an understatement. She looked to be quite a vision tonight, with icy waves of hair that were a stark contrast to the midnight color of her dress against her skin. All the skin she seemed prepared to show off along with the delicate curves of her feminine body. Again, he would be lying to have said her beauty was not something easy to brush off. Not entirely one to mix with others that were not of pure bloodlines of witchcraft and one to be sure that Garrick knew of every witch in Mercy Cove. However, tonight he overlooked this fact.
Edie was not a fool, he could read the conflict in her eyes and maybe that was something too that he found appetizing about her. She wasn't so blinded by his namesake and maybe even seemed nauseated by it. However, she was here and maybe even dressed to the nines just to show him up. Either way, Garrick was enjoying himself already. Did he make sure to be first anyway, why? It’s because inside the restaurant is unfamiliar territory and every gentleman’s obligation is to protect his lady companion in all unpleasant situations that may arrive.
Pushing off the bar counter as he downed the rest of his wine and left the glass behind as he moved toward her. His steps are deliberate and with direction. Met her halfway as he halted ahead of her and let that steely gaze drip down over her before returning to meet that grin with his own. "You'll find I'm a very patient man, Edith." Dragging the tip of his tongue over his canine before extending his hand to her. "Might I be so bold to say that you look, ravishing?" Taking her warm hand into his own as he lifted it to his lips, pressing a kiss to her knuckles.
"I reserved us a table, with a little more privacy." Well, there were benefits to owning the place too but he didn't need any distractions tonight either. Walking ahead of her as he tucked her hand over his arm. Escorting her to their candle-lit table that was tucked towards the back of the bar. Moving to pull her chair out for her. "Please," he insisted before tucking her in and moving to sit across from her and facing the exit.
