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

‍‍⠀⠀⠀ ‍‍⠀⠀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 . 〞 ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

@silvcrdreams ᅠᅠ a brow raising as she wandered off, sighing. odd.. raising a hand, placing the order.

‍‍⠀⠀⠀ ‍‍⠀⠀𝒉appy 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 day ♡ @howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

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

@silvcrdreams ᅠᅠ making a little nod towards her, offering a smile. 〝 course i will, sweetheart. 〞

@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 〞⠀ ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

@silvcrdreams ᅠᅠ hm. ain't we all? one way or another.

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀ ‍‍⠀⠀you learn something new every day .⠀⠀ ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

@silvcrdreams ᅠᅠ he ain't often. but from time to time he sure does.

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

@silvcrdreams ᅠᅠ can't believe her luck, huh? he himself likes to refer to this as fate, personally. because it is.

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

@silvcrdreams ᅠᅠ 〝 mhm. 〞 rolling his eyes, his attention pulling away from her to one of the waiters.

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀ ‍‍⠀⠀〝 sounds good .ᐟ 〞 she bites her lip , still nudging his foot , acting all innocent . ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

@silvcrdreams ᅠᅠ 〝 those two it is then, well, three. i want pasta. 〞 shrugging, setting his menu down with a little smirk.

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀ ‍‍⠀⠀glancing down at the menu , picking the first thing that jumps out . 〝 the salmon . 〞 ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

@silvcrdreams ᅠᅠ 〝 that's one. pick another. 〞 nudging her foot right back.

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀ ‍‍⠀⠀〝 definitely want to try the dauphinoise . 〞 nudging his foot again . ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

@silvcrdreams ᅠᅠ 〝 hm. then what do you want? you pick both. 〞 a little smile tugging on his lips. oh, he still can surely tell she is.

@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 . 〞 ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

@silvcrdreams ᅠᅠ 〝 hm, well now you know. 〞 a soft chuckle, taking a sip himself. 〝 hm, not too sure myself yet. 〞

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀ ‍‍⠀⠀〝 you could have mentioned that before . 〞 she returns his smile and takes another sip of wine . 〝 what are you having .ᐣ 〞⠀ ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

@silvcrdreams ᅠᅠ 〝 i know the owner. hell, i'm half the reason he fuckin' owns the place. don't worry about it. 〞 offering her a little smile.

@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 .⠀ ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

@silvcrdreams ᅠᅠ 〝 hm? what is it? 〞 she seemed a little, off almost.

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀ ‍‍⠀⠀she lays down the menu , looking sceptical . ⠀⠀〝 okey - dokey . . . 〞 ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

@silvcrdreams ᅠᅠ shrugging once more, shaking his head. 〝 yeah, go head.' 〞

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀ ‍‍⠀⠀eh , she's curious . might as well . ⠀⠀⠀〝 seriously .ᐣ 〞 ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

@silvcrdreams ᅠᅠ she can always find out herself. to be honest, he doesn't know either. 〝 go ahead. 〞

@howardstarred ‍‍⠀⠀⠀ ‍‍⠀⠀ a brow lifting . what even is a dauphinoise .ᐣ 〝 a few .ᐣ 〞 ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

@silvcrdreams ᅠᅠ 〝 then pick a few. 〞 shrugging towards her. oh, trust him, it does not always. but here is, very good.

@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 .⠀ ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

@silvcrdreams ᅠᅠ 〝 hm. that it would be. 〞 following her eyes, smirking. 〝 get whatever you want. 〞

@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 . ‍‍⠀⠀⠀

@silvcrdreams ᅠᅠ 〝 ain't long at all. got a few special perks, y'know. 〞 a smirk on his brims, kicking her foot a bit harder.
