"You're welcome," he said. He didn't move away immediately. Lingering was so appealing and he could give her one of those soft smiles that were only ever aimed at her. "I'll be right back."

He came back with a plate with a little of everything except for the chocolate fondue because that was far more fun to dip for yourself. He also had one glass of the eyeball sangria and one of the mulled pomegranate cherry juice.

"Pick your drink," he said. "I'll take the other. Or we can share?"
