The Pawn
"Earl Langford"
The waiter's eyes widened in recognition. "Oh, Miss Carmichael. Your guests have been expecting you".
With that, he led the way, not looking back to see if I was following.
We passed by people, the ones laughing together, the ones grimacing over their meal, the ones looking like they wanted to be anywhere else. I guess I fit into that category perfectly.
The waiter led me through past a demarcation and into a dimly lit and sensual cove. The kind of setting you see in romantic movies, the ones with the haloing lights and a hanging chandelier glittering as a centerpiece. It was breathtaking.
