Noah gives a double-take. “Henry.”
They shake.
Noah adjusts so he can see where Henry came from. The bouncy brunette smiles and waves and then refills her wine glass.
“You like them . . . young, don’t you, Henry,” Noah says half-jokingly.
“Hey. They’ve got to be young to keep up with me.” He chuckles and rattles Noah’s shoulder. “You know what I mean, don’t you?”
“Sure do, Henry.”
“Who is this gorgeous woman?”
Noah makes introductions as the waiter sets two glasses on the table. Holds up a bottle of wine for Noah to inspect.
Noah nods.
Henry says, “Well, I guess I better get back to my… friend. Just wanted to say hello. Nice meeting you, Amber.”
“Same here, Henry.”
Henry returns to his table. The waiter pours the wine and waits for Noah to taste it. He does and nods, and the waiter bows and leaves.
Noah holds his glass out toward me.
I pick mine up.
“To the first of what I hope is many dates,” he says.
I smile tightly. I might be in over my head.
