The maitre d nodded and looked down to check the page with a finger, "April, April, ah yes, April for two."  He looked up and smiled, "My congratulations to the two of you.  An anniversary is always a great thing to celebrate is it not, another year of an happy union between two friends."  The maitre d stepped from behind the podium and indicated for them to follow him.<br/><br/>"We have arranged a nice cozy spot for you two lovebirds, the best spot in the restaurant.  You'll also have your own personal waiter for the night to wait on every need of yours."  The maitre d grinned as he continued to walk and talk, "There will be other surprises, but I'll let your waiter do the talking."  True enough, he leads you to a table in one of the private alcoves that's secluded from the other tables and the kitchen but provides an excellent view of the dining room.<br/><br/>After making sure they were both seated, he takes a slight bow, "I wish you both a good night and on behalf of the Trattoria I want to thank you for patronizing our restaurant on this special night of yours."  He then left the two to their own devices as he headed back to the front.
