W H O: Asteria Greengrass & Roger Davies W H E N: Monday, June 16th, 2002 W H E R E: Rousillon, London, England. W H A T: 2nd date Meeting R A T I N G: E for Everyone. S T A T U S: Closed / Complete
If anything Asteria was more nervous for this second meeting then she was for the first. In a weird sense, she was more nervous because at Rousillon, she was in her element. She loved this restaurant more then any other in the city...which, in all honesty, didn't make sense. Being in ones element was supposed to give you confidence, not make you worry more. She blamed her nerves on a certain Mr. Harper. She still couldn't believe he'd gotten her up on the bar. What a nightmare? She was still a bit shaky from that experience, invisible eyes had been following her all day and she just wanted them to bloody well disappear already.
After arriving at the restaurant she checked in for their reservation and waited patiently for Roger to arrive. Insane thoughts of whether he'd like the place passed through her mind as she toyed with a strand of her hair, a characteristic that came out when she was nervous. He hadn't sounded like he was disappointed in her choice when she had talked to him over the journals, but she supposed that seeing and hearing were too very different things.
When the waiter once again came up to ask her if she would like something to drink, she almost winced. Her head was still pounding from the night before, but despite this she did order a nice bottle of merlot. She did love the drink and perhaps Roger would like some over dinner. She wasn't about to deny him simply because she didn't know how to say no to her best friend.
