Madeleine's attention was attracted by the word "doctor." She turned her head and looked at the man, frowning slightly. Wrong kind of doctor. Still, what had she expected? She was in a very casual cafe, surrounded by people who made ends meet but, she would wager, rarely had much to spare. Oh, sure, there were tickets for the movie, dinners out, but not true luxury.
She spent a moment studying him before the thunder, and she tilted her head when he looked over at her. Ah, there was a look Madeleine knew well. A studious, curious look. Well, beggars couldn't be choosers, and he wasn't bad looking either. She could at least amuse herself a bit talking to him.
Madeleine got up from her stool, moving closer to the man. She leaned forward slightly, against the counter. "What would you recommend? I've never eaten here before."
