Matthew is getting more and more comfortable about the idea of Kamal, about the idea of being around him and being with him and not driving himself into panicky fits at the very thought of him. When he dresses for this dinner, he makes sure his bottle of Valium is in the pocket of his suit, but he only takes one ahead of time and he doesn't drink any beer or even smoke one of his cigarettes (he's trying to keep the smell off his clothes).
He manages to tame his hair somewhat, and straightens his tie obsessively, but by seven o'clock he's at the agreed-upon restaurant, even wearing cufflinks, looking exceptionally respectable and only a little nervous. The nervousness, though, is half-eclipsed by the brilliance of his smile.
