Phill couldn’t take his eyes off his wife as they headed into the restaurant, he was insanely curious if the skirt would show anything.  He couldn’t help a rueful smile as he felt like a little boy trying to see up the skirt of a passing dame.  When Kate explains he can’t help but blush as well as he had some minor hopes that she would choose to not wear the collar.  Still, she looked so lovely, so exotic, he forgave her.   For his part, Phill just wiggled his eyebrows at Simon when Kate wasn’t looking as part of his explanation of what the ‘penalty’ might have been.<br/>“Love the choice in music.  This is a nice place, I really need to open my horizons more and find places like this.”  Looking over at Simon he grins a bit, “I guess that is what this is all about though, isn’t it?”  Phill raises an eyebrow at Simon at the curious phrasing but doesn’t comment on it.  Again a raised eyebrow as he takes the menu.  “Kate, don’t forget your,” Pausing a moment he puts a slight emphasis on the next word, “manners.  I will, I promise, carry through on my threat.”<br/>Opening the menu he nods, “You know, a fillet with mushrooms sounds…”  He trails off looking at the menu.  It must the prices that have ground Phill to stop as he stares at the menu.  It has to be the prices.  What else could possibly cause him to just stare at a menu?  Surely not a surprising note left for him to torment his wife.  Looking up the menu, he looks over at Simon, then to Kate, to the menu, to Kate, and back to the menu.  “In retrospect, I think I will have the T-bone.  That looks remarkably good for some reason.”  In truth, by a nice twice of fate, it was listed right below the note and in absence of not having his wife, the steak sure looked tasty.  Reaching up he takes out the note and slips it nonchalantly into his coat pocket.  “What about you, Kate?”<br/>Phill pauses a moment and looks over at Simon, “I think.. I think my dear Kate needs a nickname.  For the occasion, you know?  Kat would be the common, but for some reason I am leaning towards ‘kitten’.  Just think of the Halloween costume we can find her.”<br/>
