She smiles. "Flattery, Mr. Bochs, will get you... well, we'll think of something. I try."

And food comes, and she eats quietly.

He sets into his food hungrily. One of the advantages of Mexican food, there's a lot of it, and a lot of it is plenty dense - helpful with his metabolism.

"Creative mind like yours, I'm sure I'll appreciate whatever you come up with, and just keep up with the justified flattery."

"Happy to see my girlfriend." he replies without hesitation regarding the word. "Its good to see you... and to talk to you again. Alpha has been alright... but being surrounded by really devoted couples at all times gets... well... something. Be easier once hockey gets going again."

He shakes his head. "Its not a matter of whether you mind or not. And I have my black book and all. I just... haven't had a lot of interest in purely physical relationships lately. Its just not the same. Its nice dating someone you can have a real conversation with... before the mind-blowing sex."

"It really isn't. If I just wanted a night out, or a night in with company, that's easy enough. It just hasn't been quite as appealing as it used to be of late."

He chuckles. "I appreciate it. And eventually, I'll probably be in the mood. Or want a date for some event or something. Just hasn't been the case of late. You've spoiled me for lesser women."

He figured that would help -and is more than happy to provide. After all, it is, to a degree, true. "So, what are you in the mood for after dinner? Can't quite go for drinks down here yet, but we could probably go dancing, or find a movie, or just somewhere quiet for a slow dessert and more time to talk."

"Happy to. There's a few little places I've occasionally wanted to try, but just didn't have the right person in town at the time." She'll check her phone to get the address of one of them.

"It could probably pass, but... maybe we could stop at the hotel and change your shirt?" Because 'probably pass' hasn't usually been Vernique's style.
