[ Jefferson has a seat beside her. ]

Friend of yours, I take it?

Owner, I'm a regular. [She smiles at him and leans her head on his shoulder for a moment before sitting back upright and pulling a menu towards her]

Alright, let's see what we want.

[ He leans into her so they can both look over the menu ]
What do you recommend?

I love their salmon rolls. Anything with salmon in it is perfect. Their lobster rolls are amazing too, but expensive. I usually get 3 or 4 different one but since you're here we might be able to get 6 to start with and share, then go from there.

I'd suggest a Spicy Salmon, shrimp tempura, tuna/avocado, spicy crunchy shrimp, sweet potato...is there anything you see that you'd like to try?

No, that all sounds fine. [ He's willing to let her guide this, since he's never really had good sushi before. ]

[lisa smiles and orders their food when the owner returns with their drinks. SHE orders spring rolls and summer rolls as well as the sushi and a few pieces of egg sushi.]

Once the food order is in he half turns to her. "You said this place is called Coast City?"

The city is, Yeah.” Lisa smiles. “The restaurant is called Taste of the Sea.”

"Appropriate name," he remarks.

Lisa smiles and relaxes in her seat enjoying his arm around her. It isn't long before their appetizers arrive and Lisa happily shows him what sauces to use with which dish and happily encourages him to try some of everything.

Which, of course, he will do. There are a few things he enjoys, a few things he does not so much. The most spicy things he does not appear to like quite as much as everything else.

Most of the dishes are not spicy at all, but Lisa makes a mental note to maybe not try Thai food next time because all of her favorites are VERY spicy. She happily eats the items he doesn't want too and soon she's sitting back sipping her tea and rubbing her full stomach.

"That was delicious."

Thai food may not go over as well, spice-wise. This is true. "Very," he agrees. "I'm glad that we came here."

"I'm just really glad I get to spend time with you." Lisa smiles at him when the owner brings over their check and winks at Lisa. She shakes her head flipping the bill over to read 'Come back soon, bring cute boy again.' And no actual monetary amount.

"So am I. Glad to spend time with you, I mean." Offering Lisa a smile because of course he means this very much.

"Ready to head back? We can walk around town before calling it a night. It's safer there to stroll than here." She says.

He nods. "That would be fine, sure." He does not hate taking strolls with her at all.

Lisa takes his hand and she puts a $20 down anyway even though their meal was on the house.

Once back in New Dodge she takes his hand in hers once more, threading their fingers, as she strolls aimlessly down the street making small talk with him.
