Much deserved fun

Instead of popping up in Julian's place uninvited, Janie knocked on his door a few minutes after she got the last note from him.

She knocked, and waited for him to get to the door.

"Yeah, with candlelight and- no. I mean, no. He's busy." She tried to make it seem like she didn't want Phoenix around. "He's a wanker. Doesn't need to be here at all."

Janie worked on devouring her salad, eating nearly every bite before nodding in agreement. "I think I could too."

"Surely he is not busy all the time?" he wondered, quite sure that he had missed something.

"Then let's hope they have plenty of them ..." His salad was gone, and he used a bread-stick to get the last bit of the dressing off the plate.

"Yes. All the time." Julian certainly had missed something, along with everyone else. "But with you around- yes, you have to be around, that'll make everything okay."

She nibbled on a bread-stick while waiting on the next course. "They should. This place cooks plenty of them, correct?"

The feeling still was there, but he suspected that he'd find out soon enough. "Uhm. Alright, I'll be around, sure. That was the point of it. But be warned, I don't know how I can make anything okay."

It didn't take long until the waiter returned with two large plates which contained plenty of meat, vegetables, potatoes and lingonberry jam. This was much closer to what Julian had expected, and he looked very content. "Yeah, they do. I'm pretty sure this is one of them."

"Just your presence will make things better". Janie said, before digging in to her plate.

It really was good, she just didn't say anything about it because she was too busy eating.

"First time I hear that", Julian answered, grinning, between two bites. "But I'll try my best."

Food obviously could make people happy, judging from his expression.
