As soon as he received Veritas' confirmation, he set to work. He cooked homemade dinner; a sea bass for each with perfectly crispy skin seasoned with simple spices and rosemary, butterflied perfectly down the middle and with the bones taken out, roasted baby potatoes in their jacket and a side of carrots with a refreshing tartar sauce and lemon slices on the side. The lightning was lowered, dimmed for intimacy, the table set with a tablecloth, two candles and a bucket of ice with a glass bottle of water inside. He himself was nicely dressed, though that he looked good was nothing out of the ordinary and when the time came for Veritas to join him, he was found in the dining room, reading idly by the table and waiting for him.
