‍‍⠀⠀curled up on the couch , serveral pages into a book .⠀

‍‍⠀⠀⠀

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒎s‍‍ ‍.‍‍ ‍ ‍‍‍𝐦̲𝐚̲𝐜̲𝐥̲𝐞̲𝐚̲𝐧̲‍ ‍ @silvcrdreams]

‍‍⠀⠀⠀

‍‍⠀⠀absentmindedly twirling her finger around the phone cord , various affirming vocalizations passing her lips . she stares off into space , the reciever tucked under her chin .

‍‍⠀⠀⠀

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

‍‍⠀⠀it takes close to ten minutes for her to return . a hand stroking along his shoulder as she passes him , returning to her seat .

〝 sorry about that . 〞

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

‍‍⠀⠀dropping a kiss to his forehead as she walks past . weaving among tables , purse cluched close to her chest .⠀⠀

‍‍⠀⠀⠀

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒎s‍‍ ‍.‍‍ ‍ ‍‍‍𝐦̲𝐚̲𝐜̲𝐥̲𝐞̲𝐚̲𝐧̲‍ ‍ @silvcrdreams]

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

‍‍⠀⠀she takes another sip of wine , reaching for her purse and pushing her chair back .

〝 just going to powder my nose . you'll order if the waiter comes .ᐣ 〞⠀

‍‍⠀⠀⠀

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒎s‍‍ ‍.‍‍ ‍ ‍‍‍𝐦̲𝐚̲𝐜̲𝐥̲𝐞̲𝐚̲𝐧̲‍ ‍ @silvcrdreams]

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒎s‍‍ ‍.‍‍ ‍ ‍‍‍𝐦̲𝐚̲𝐜̲𝐥̲𝐞̲𝐚̲𝐧̲‍ ‍ @silvcrdreams]

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

‍‍⠀⠀didn't think he believed
in that sort of thing .⠀⠀

‍‍⠀⠀⠀

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒎s‍‍ ‍.‍‍ ‍ ‍‍‍𝐦̲𝐚̲𝐜̲𝐥̲𝐞̲𝐚̲𝐧̲‍ ‍ @silvcrdreams]

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

‍‍⠀⠀she tucks a strand of hair behind her ear , content just to look at him . she can't honestly believe her luck .⠀⠀⠀

‍‍⠀⠀⠀

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒎s‍‍ ‍.‍‍ ‍ ‍‍‍𝐦̲𝐚̲𝐜̲𝐥̲𝐞̲𝐚̲𝐧̲‍ ‍ @silvcrdreams]

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

‍‍⠀⠀〝 sounds good .ᐟ 〞

she bites her lip , still nudging his foot , acting all innocent .

‍‍⠀⠀⠀

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒎s‍‍ ‍.‍‍ ‍ ‍‍‍𝐦̲𝐚̲𝐜̲𝐥̲𝐞̲𝐚̲𝐧̲‍ ‍ @silvcrdreams]

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

‍‍⠀⠀glancing down at the menu , picking the first thing that jumps out .

〝 the salmon . 〞

‍‍⠀⠀⠀

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒎s‍‍ ‍.‍‍ ‍ ‍‍‍𝐦̲𝐚̲𝐜̲𝐥̲𝐞̲𝐚̲𝐧̲‍ ‍ @silvcrdreams]

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

‍‍⠀⠀〝 definitely want to try
the dauphinoise . 〞

nudging his foot again .

‍‍⠀⠀⠀

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒎s‍‍ ‍.‍‍ ‍ ‍‍‍𝐦̲𝐚̲𝐜̲𝐥̲𝐞̲𝐚̲𝐧̲‍ ‍ @silvcrdreams]

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

‍‍⠀⠀gosh , every time she looks at him , she finds herself blushing .

thank god for the dim light in the restaurant .⠀

〝 why don't we get one
of each .ᐣ since we're both
indecisive . 〞

‍‍⠀⠀⠀

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒎s‍‍ ‍.‍‍ ‍ ‍‍‍𝐦̲𝐚̲𝐜̲𝐥̲𝐞̲𝐚̲𝐧̲‍ ‍ @silvcrdreams]

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

‍‍⠀⠀〝 you could have mentioned that before . 〞

she returns his smile and takes another sip of wine .

〝 what are you having .ᐣ 〞⠀

‍‍⠀⠀⠀

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒎s‍‍ ‍.‍‍ ‍ ‍‍‍𝐦̲𝐚̲𝐜̲𝐥̲𝐞̲𝐚̲𝐧̲‍ ‍ @silvcrdreams]

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

‍‍⠀⠀〝 just . . . I can't imagine this place is cheap and you're encouraging me to order more than one main course . 〞

she understands him wanting to spoil her , but it feels excessive .⠀

‍‍⠀⠀⠀

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒎s‍‍ ‍.‍‍ ‍ ‍‍‍𝐦̲𝐚̲𝐜̲𝐥̲𝐞̲𝐚̲𝐧̲‍ ‍ @silvcrdreams]

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

‍‍⠀⠀she lays down the menu ,
looking sceptical .

⠀⠀〝 okey - dokey . . . 〞

‍‍⠀⠀⠀

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒎s‍‍ ‍.‍‍ ‍ ‍‍‍𝐦̲𝐚̲𝐜̲𝐥̲𝐞̲𝐚̲𝐧̲‍ ‍ @silvcrdreams]

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

‍‍⠀⠀eh , she's curious .
might as well .

⠀⠀⠀〝 seriously .ᐣ 〞

‍‍⠀⠀⠀

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒎s‍‍ ‍.‍‍ ‍ ‍‍‍𝐦̲𝐚̲𝐜̲𝐥̲𝐞̲𝐚̲𝐧̲‍ ‍ @silvcrdreams]

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

‍‍⠀⠀ a brow lifting . what even
is a dauphinoise .ᐣ

〝 a few .ᐣ 〞

‍‍⠀⠀⠀

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒎s‍‍ ‍.‍‍ ‍ ‍‍‍𝐦̲𝐚̲𝐜̲𝐥̲𝐞̲𝐚̲𝐧̲‍ ‍ @silvcrdreams]

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

‍‍⠀⠀〝 all of it looks good though . 〞

she looks up at him briefly . there are words on this menu she has never seen before . must only mean it's good .⠀

‍‍⠀⠀⠀

[‍‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍𝒎s‍‍ ‍.‍‍ ‍ ‍‍‍𝐦̲𝐚̲𝐜̲𝐥̲𝐞̲𝐚̲𝐧̲‍ ‍ @silvcrdreams]

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

‍‍⠀⠀〝 ‍‍right ── the benefits of
being a hollywood star . 〞

she glances down at the menu in front of her , chewing the inside of her cheek , indecisive .
