Anton pulled away, leading him back to the hostess. “Our table is ready.” He smiled at the voluptuous older woman. “Conchata is tired of watching me fidget.”


Conchata led them to a corner table with a small candle flickering in the center. Mason focused on Anton to the exclusion of all else, marveling that he was even there. Once they were seated, he realized that he was hopelessly tongue-tied. If he wanted to make a positive impression on Anton, he needed to pull it together.


“Have you…have you eaten here before?” The question wouldn’t win any prizes, but Mason just wanted to prove he could still talk. “Would you recommend anything?”


“Just once, but it was for lunch.” He gestured toward the kitchen. “The head chef has a brother on my crew. Diego brought us down to show him off.” His smile was more than a little embarrassed. “So, no, I have no idea what else is good. Except everything. I just wanted it to be someplace nice for you.”
