"Oh it will be something delicious… " he says while licking his lips with a small movement of his tongue that is only noticeable because she happened to be watching his lips while he was talking.

"Oh… we have a caterer that brings our meals when we need it. We do not have time for elaborate cooking and since I had hoped you would come today I made prior arrangements. I hope you don't mind and that you are hungry."

She smiles as a tray of food is brought in. Two covered silver platters are set in front of us, one for Francisco and one for her. She looks down on it seeing her own reflection in the polished silver. She is interrupted by Francisco, "Go ahead, open it… "
