Pleased by her reaction to his admission, Jace settled his arm around her shoulders, grinning when she put her hand on his knee. He was never the sort to over-analyse a situation or people's actions - mostly because he wasn't exactly the deepest thinker - so as far as he was concerned, she was feeling him, at least a little bit, and that gave him the courage to proceed as he normally would. He gently rubbed her shoulder as the ride continued and placed his free hand atop hers on his knee, stroking his thumb over her skin. Sometimes he knew the right moves.
Like a gentleman, he helped her out of the cab and then led her to the restaurant. "I've only been once before, with some friends, but the food is delicious and the atmosphere is really fun. I think you'll love it," he replied, as he opened the door to the cafe for her and ushered her inside.
He moved up to the hostess and indicated his name for the reservation. Within moments, they were being shown to their table. Jace pulled out the chair for her and then went around to the other side of the table to sit down across from her. The table they were at was relatively intimate, but still had decent access to the dance floor. After taking a sip of water, he looked straight at her, laughter in his eyes. "All right, so tell me truly...was I terribly inappropriate or what?"
