“Me either, so no worries,” I said, smiling at him. “Let me know when you’d like me to do so and I’ll be there.”

I thought a moment. "My schedule is clear a week from tomorrow, are you available then?"

"Wonderful," I said. "I will make sure my staff anticipates your arrival. Would you like me to be around while you cook or do you prefer to work your magic in a clear space?"

“I don’t mind company, but you don’t have to keep me company unless you’d like to,” I answered with another smile.

"Well, I'd have to close a bit early, but it would be no trouble," I said.

“Whichever you prefer, I don’t want to interfere with your business,” I said, after I’d swallowed another bite.

"Well then, I will tell the staff to expect you before I arrive home," I said, taking another bite. I chewed and swallowed. "Does that seem good to you?"

“That sounds very good,” I replied, smiling and nodding a little.

I smiled. "Wonderful," I said, taking another bite of food. "What is your favorite thing to cook?"

“Duck with dressing and vegetables,” I answered. “It’s my best meal.”

"Then I shall make sure that those things are in the kitchen when you arrive next week," I said. "I love duck."

My smile grew. “Wonderful!” I said. “I’ll bring the duck though, it takes a day of preparation before hand to make it right.”

"Very well, though I insist on repaying you for the price of the duck," I said with a smile. I chuckled. "i almost wish it were next week now, so the next meal I would eat is yours."

I blushed deeply, caught by surprise at how deep a compliment that was. “I will do my best not to disappoint,” I said, smiling at him.

"I am sure you will not," I said. "Now I have much to look forward to." I picked up my fork again. "Come, let's finish eating so that next week will come more quickly."

We ate in a comfortable silence for a while. "So, I will see you in a few days to clean the store again?" I asked after a while.

“Oh yes,” I answered after I’d had my last bite and a sip of drink to wash it down. “Are there certain days of the week that would be better for you to have me coming in? My schedule is very open as you can imagine.” I smiled at that last bit. I couldn’t believe what an amazing day this had been, I kept expecting to wake up and find it had been a dream.

"I think Mondays and Thursdays, and one Saturday a month for real scrubbing," I replied. "Sundays we are closed, but I think that is a good schedule."

“That sounds perfect,” I agreed. I took a deep breath as I thought about how I to say what I wanted without sounding silly.
“Thank you again for the position, I truly appreciate it.”

I blushed so deeply I was certain I would be red for days.
“It seems as if fortune was looking out for both of us,” I said softly.

"It does seem that way," I said, smiling at her blush. She was really adorable. "Are you almost finished?"

“I am,” I said, smiling and then taking another drink. “All finished now.”

"All right," I said, taking out my purse and leaving a few coins on the table. "I'll put you in a carriage, it's a bit late."

"You're welcome," I said, standing and moving to offer her my arm. With my other hand, I pressed some coins into her palm. "That should cover your fare, and your first days wages."

"You're welcome," I said. I moved to lead us out of the restaurant.
