Blind Date
Who: Lizzy Raleigh and Aleksandr Creote Where: A very, very nice restaurant. When: Some years ago. What: Savant and Mrs. Raleigh conspire to unintentionally create the most awkward blind date ever. Rating: PG
He was in love with an utter fool. The most oblivious fool in all of history. Who had not only set him up on a date with someone else, and not only with a complete stranger, but a female complete stranger. Not that Creote could claim he'd ever told Savant he was not interested in women; it was one of the many things he'd never dared to say. One did not mention such things. But... But... What was he supposed to do?
He simply had to stay calm and professional. Have a conversation, pay for her dinner, and walk her home. This did not have to be difficult. Right.
"Miss Raleigh? Aleksandr Creote. A pleasure to meet you."
