And I should say the same for you. But, I am hoping this is to your taste? [he assumed it might be, after his search had at least let him know about her father's job-- and provided a few hints about what her goals might be, post college.]
[He's so charming! Honestly, Katherine loves it. Certainly, she's a strong enough woman to thrive on her own, but there's something that's just so wonderful about a man that knows how to be a gentleman, and doesn't expect to win brownie points because of it. With a smile, she takes his arm, letting him lead her inside.]
And we wouldn't want to be late, of course.
[She doesn't try to ask questions as they go inside and deal with being seated and menus and all of that, but once they've been left alone, Kath smiles at him over the top of her menu.]
I'm afraid I have to ask before we go any further. Do you prefer Franklin, or Frank?
