Once their glasses clinked together, Cael also took a sip of his wine - granted it was a much larger sip, since he felt he needed it, but he didn't want to make her too suspicious. She was already starting to ask questions, but instead of humoring her with an answer, he just gave her a smirk.
"Are you saying I need a reason to dote on my beautiful girlfriend?"
It wasn't that spoiling her was anything new, but this definitely was out of character for him. He rolled his lips under and leaned forward towards her.
"I'll answer whatever questions you might have after dinner."
He thought that seemed fair enough, since he didn't think she would have many questions to ask once they were done eating, and he was getting on with what he had planned for her. He speared some of his pasta with his fork and took a bite, hoping that she would take her time so that he could work through what he was going to say to her. He had rehearsed it a million times in his head, but he knew it wasn't going to turn out like he hoped it would - he'd probably just jumble together a few words to get his point across. He sipped at more wine, the mere thought of it all making his stomach do uncomfortable flips.
Once they were both finished with their food, Cael stood to his feet and held his hand out towards her, helping her stand before he guided her futher into the yard. He had acres of land, so they had some time to roam...and he had some time to stall.
"So, did you enjoy dinner?"
