Yeah, well. It goes both ways. ( which is as much as he'll ever admit to, in that regard, but he certainly relies on jim as much as the reverse is true, if not more.

At least that's one thing this place has gotten right. People are meant to be with each other, not alone.

Once they've been seated, she has a quick glance over the menu before speaking again.]
This place looks lovely. Have you been here before?

So if it's not up to standard, I'll give you a list and you can blame them all instead of me.

But it's been so long since I've been out to eat that I doubt it'll disappoint.
