"Alright," she smiles lightly to herself. They can try someplace new tonight. Maria's been keeping clipping and articles bookmarked to her phone of small vegetarian and special dietary-friendly restaurants around the city. And, hey, Manolo can't complain if she's the one paying (not that he ever would).
With both boots tugged off, her feet are set firmly on the carpeted floor. She purposefully wore her pair of toe socks that Manolo had bought for her shortly after arriving. They are bright turquoise with pink little pigs stitched all over. They were so precious, even if a little annoying to get on (she usually missed a toe and always had to sit back down and refit the darn socks). But it's worth it to wear when she can anytime they go out together. She wiggles all of her toes across the carpet to watch the piggies squirm.
When she finally looks up and sees Manolo staring, she stares back. It's questioning at first, as if she's waiting for him to say something, but then her face softens and she matches his own grin. "Thank you, for doing this with me."
