<strong>Alyssa and James<br/><br/></strong>Alyssa was already there by the time he arrived. She looked pretty and he found himself smiling even though he was dreading this meeting.<br/><br/>He took his seat and offered his apologies for being late.<br/><br/>"Sorry Alyssa for being late. I thought I was doing well but about halfway here I got an urgent call I just had to take." He was prone to being late as most Doctors were and so he hoped she would forgive him. As he sat down he picked up the menu and began to scan it quickly. He saw the chicken salad and smiled as he mentally decided that was what he wanted and he lowered the menu to focus on Alyssa.<br/><br/>"Right. Chosen. Have you decided what your having?" He said as he poured himself a glass of water from the jug on the table. "You look great by the way. A new "do"?" And took a sip of the water to calm his nerves.<br/>
