"Are you really going to go out with my cousin?"
Since they had arrived at the restaurant, he won't stop pestering her about her promised dinner to his younger cousin, Seus.
"I got the painting, so yeah, I'll be going," she replied as she cut her t-bone steak. She has high expectations of the meal tonight since the restaurant was awarded three Michelin stars, and her expectation was met and exceeded. Everything was perfect except for Dominic's non-stop yapping.
He clicked his tongue and picked up his glass of wine. He was already on his second glass. And Laurie doesn't like the fact that Dominic is getting wasted.
