("Such is the privilege of beauty," his eternally tardy mother was fond of saying), instead standing and giving her a warm smile and polite European-style cheek kiss before pulling out her chair for her.  He laughed softly as she took her seat and commented about the breakfast spread.  Taking his own seat, he looked over at her warmly.<br/><br/>"Yes, if there's one thing the producers seem to get right every time here it's the food... though I could wish they'd tone it down a bit."<br/><br/>He grabbed a croissant and took a healthy bite, closing his eyes in bliss.  He chewed for a moment, swallowed, gave her a wry smile that reached his amber eyes.<br/><br/>"I mean, how's a guy supposed to compete for a girl's attention with perfectly made croissants and crispy bacon?  It's daunting."<br/><br/>They ate in companionable silence for a few moments while both of them took the edge off their hunger.  In his opinion, if a lady was hungry enough to comment about it at the beginning of a date, you just let her eat until she was ready to put down the fork and do other things with her tongue.<br/><br/>"So tell me, Grace... I know you're not here on the Island for a man.  You'll never convince me that you can't find one without the help of an army of cameramen and producers.  And clearly it isn't for fame, given the number of your 'gram followers.  So what's the skinny?"<br/><br/>
