<div align="center"><strong>Shawn Albert Pierce - Chez Antoinette | Lunch with Matilda</strong></div><br/>Lunch at with Matilda didn’t matter where, to Shawn, and he said he would take her anywhere she wished to go. Chez Antoinette, was her choice so Chez Antoinette was where they were both now sitting and in a rather private booth to add to this. Didn’t really take much to get to the spot, it was lunch time and this restaurant was more known for dinners and business lunches so the place was not too busy on this afternoon. Tipping the Maître d' well did not exactly hurt, either.<br/><br/><em>"Thank you for the lunch invitation. I've heard this place is amazing."</em><br/><br/>“Thank you for accepting, Matilda.” He smiled at her sweetly and reached for her hand, “I am glad you are happy to be here.” In truth, Shawn had been to the place once or twice on occasions, “It well is amazing the first time being here, the atmosphere they strive for is well done.” Small talk, of all the ways to charm a woman small talk could be one of the most difficult.<br/><br/>“Tell me of yourself, Matilda, I know little of you outside of how your presence has me shocked you are so open to a date.” Shawn openly admitted this to being a date, seeing how she would react (and if she was committed to another), as the waiter arrived with the menus.
