He took a moment's pause at a stoplight to look over at her. "I think you should use it when we order at the restaurant, just to see their faces."
He felt a bit better knowing that his choice of restaurant seemed to pass. The slightest bit of nervousness he'd felt had started to melt away, leaving only the laid-back guy that he was, glad to be around Ana again.
"I'll bet you can say some pretty sexy things in Italian," Elliot added, revealing that confidence that had decided to poke its head out.
