Re: lmao. step-father!
"Works for me," Kevin said, bee-lining toward it. He perused the menu quickly and found a couple of intriguing menu options, then gestured Oriel ahead of him.
They waited patiently for the hostess to show them to a table, and when she did, Kevin was faced with a question of a chivalrous nature: should he pull out Oriel's chair? After all, this was a "date", wasn't it? But it wasn't a boy-girl date, and Kevin had no idea of a. whether Oriel interpreted this evening as a date or b. if he'd be particularly affected by the gesture.
In the end, Kevin's dithering answered the question by itself, as he didn't do it. But he did hesitate behind the seat...just for a moment.
"I needed this," he said somewhat abruptly as he sat.
