<div align="center"><strong>Shawn Albert Pierce - Chez Antoinette | Lunch with Matilda</strong></div><br/>The way Matilda acted, the way she touched his hand almost like a lover, the words she said and how she said them, this all made Shawn smile at the girl who he was sharing a lunch with. Everything seemed to be looking in Shawn’s favor more and more, this was something that made that smile of his grow; seemed that visiting Waxing Rhapsodic had much more perks than even he could have known.<br/><br/>As the waiter returned and Shawn sipped at his juice (had to keep oneself fit and strong, after all) Shawn ordered much the same as Matilda; it was lunch after all and there was no need to stuff oneself in the presence of another.<br/><br/>The waiter departed and the two were alone again as the food took time to arrive. (Should not take long, this was only supposed to be a quick lunch after all.) “An actress,” Shawn asked quickly as to prevent in moments of quiet. Being a man of who he was, quiet was not fitting unless intimacy was involved... and then that might not be for very long.
