Paulie felt those weird feelings in his stomach when he first saw her. He wasn't really one to get nervous, but he had come to realize that Tori was the one person who seemed to have the ability to make him nervous. Not all the time. But sometimes. Ignoring the stares that the other guys in here were giving her, he just let his eyes take her all in while she walked on over. Eyes sticking like glue.

And then she sat, and he suddenly realized that he was standing, and so he quickly took a seat again. She hadn't said anything yet.... okay. And she wasn't looking at him yet.... okay. But, eventually, seeming to be in no hurry, her eyes trailed up and met his. He had expected some biting remark from her to begin with, but all he received was 'hi.'

...Hi. Hi? He didn't know what to do with 'hi.' Not initially, that is. He was thrown off for a moment, but recovered. "Hi," he greeted back. Okay, sort of recovered. That was a little lame. "Thanks for meetin' me, ya know. I.. ya look real pretty." It was a challenge not to look at her, actually. Just like how it had been when he bumped into her and Aspen that time. It was partly because he never really knew the next time he'd see her, and so he had to take advantage of looking at her now because he wouldn't get to again for a while. Maybe a while. He didn't know. But it was much nicer seeing her in person than in a photograph.

With some effort, he tore his eyes away and they landed upon the menu he was pushing her way. "Ya hungry? Or thirsty?"

Why was Paulie standing up? Tori subtly shook her head at him, and kept shaking it when he complimented her. Of course she looked pretty. She had on a new dress AND was having a good hair day. Ignore that weird pus-filled pimple she'd had to cover with makeup and well, it was almost a perfect day.

Except the day was being spent with Paulie, at the moment, so.... there was no way this could be perfect. She kept her expression neutral as he spoke and then she shook her head again.

"No thanks." Not hungry, not thirsty. The last time they had met here, she'd been all set to order something and then he had broken up with her. So. She wouldn't be ordering anything today. She was maybe a little superstitious.

As an awkward silence started to fall, Tori attempted to head it off with a blunt question. "So. Why did you want to meet me here today?"
