How was he supposed to find his date once he entered the restaurant? The thought of having to ask all the single ladies made his stomach churn all the more. They should have arranged to both wear a carnation in their lapel. That was how they did it in those old romantic movies Howard so dearly loved, wasn't it?

He took one last deeeeeeeeep calming breath, and then started toward the door, noticing for the first time the young lady there. It could be her. It could be anyone. Oh Merlin, why hadn't this been planned better? He squirmed at the thought of having to make the first move.

What he did know though, was that the woman he would be having dinner with tonight was a brunette. The agency had told him that much... along with her name. This woman was a brunette. A pretty one. He liked her dress. He cleared his throat.

“E-excuse me, ma'am..” He started.. and then had to pause mid sentence to gather his thoughts and attempt to self-calm. “Are you--D-do you happen to be a Ms Dixon?”

Generally Erin had patience, plenty of it, yet at this moment she couldn't help but gaze at her watch. Perhaps it was the anxiousness again or perhaps she wasn't sure what else to do but she kept her eyes on that watch for quite sometime. Her eyes only lifted when the restaurant door opened and the suspected-cheater entered.

Her face almost gave in a disgusted look before it formed to one of utter shock.

......He of all people here was to be her date??

This was going to be the disaster date of the century and not because Erin thought he was a horror show in looks; he was averagely alright in that category. Fairly tall for sure. Never mind that though, was it too early to pull the emergency card on him?

"Yes, Erin to be exact. Are you Mr. Constantine?" was her response. She noted his stuttering and could only wonder if he was so shaken up due to the act of what she so believed he was doing. Her hand extended for a shake. She wasn't the hugger type, not to a stranger anyways.

One hour or after her dinner was eaten, that was what she'd give him before she'd find some excuse to disappear. That way she'd earn herself a free meal whilst teaching the man what she thought was a needed lesson.
