                    A bottle of Dom Perignon was elegantly placed on top of a table at Sebastian’s lodge. A single red ribbon was elegantly wrapped around it, beside the bottle were two notes that were addressed to the lawyer. One of them an invitation to join Eric at a hot tub for a nightly date. The other was a handsomely handwritten poem.

❝ He walks like a dream   Capturing people’s hearts   A muse who evokes quixotica   Who leads into sweet reverié   Falling deeper into the trance  ❞

Eric was unsure of what type of effort he should take to impress the other. He debated heavily on rose petals, to which in the end he had still used. The entrance of the room peppered with freshly plucked red rose petals that Eric himself had done himself. The petals eventually led to the tub, wherein said floras were also showered into the warm waters. A table close to the tub was also speckled with canapé’s and desserts that were varied. Did Sebastian like sweets? Would he appreciate light food for a date? Thoughts of such ran rampant in Eric’s head but, he dutifully shrugged them off so as not to get anxious.
