You kinda, sorta 'promised' to call Teddy back. Did you ever follow up on that? Do you plan to?

Return traffic is probably picking up about now, if you are going to play for a living, now is probably the time you want to do it. But that does mean leaving Lizabeth alone for even longer. You can not be sure —it is only a feeling— but maybe your place is being watched? You have not actually seen anyone watching, but, while someone is leaving might be an ideal time to try to get a better impression of the scene?

What do you do?

"That’s exactly the look I was going for" she smirks, clearly pleased with his reaction. Her eyes do narrow slightly when he mentions not going to work tomorrow. It was very odd. She knew just how busy everyone’s been at his department, now with the rainstorm, and something about his tone didn't sit right. But she pushes the thought aside for now, choosing to stay focused on her plans for the evening.

"Tomorrow? Sure, we can find something to do" she never objected to spending time with her husband, though she would have preferred if he suggested something concrete, rather than leaving things up in the air. "Just let me know when and where" she looked into his eyes, and gave his hand one last reassuring squeeze before heading out, picking up her coat and her umbrella on the off chance Henry wasn’t out waiting to pick her up on time like he was supposed to.

You have been waiting for several minutes, your legs getting cold and then numb from the wind beneath your coat, and —Sarah in tow— David has just come down to check on you when Henry pulls up, looking harried and impatient. Henry may almost be disappointed that you are waiting and can not be blamed for their being late.

You see Sarah recognise Henry from his ambush at the writers' circle, but David just sees you awkwardly getting into a low Aston Martin with a strange man. Good thing he is not the jealous type.

"We must hurry." Henry says from the driver's seat, not getting out in the rain and simply leaning over to shove the door open.

• Where does Henry take you? Is it a private diners' club? Or a posh restaurant? Do they have exclusive access to the venue or are there other patrons?
• Introduce us to who you meet with. How do they appear? How do they treat Henry? How do they treat you?
• Describe the reaction —from Henry, but also from anyone else you care to include— when they take your coat.

What do you do?
