*Lizzie stood in the back of the auditorium, anxiously waiting for the gentleman from the river. Would he even remember her? She pursed her lips, unsure.*

*Throughout rehearsal, Alex had been scanning the auditorium for his visitors. Claudine, with her cool beauty and Lizzie with her earthy sensuality--either, or both, would be welcome. At last, she detected movement. A blond head and slim figure--her grin widened in anticipation of being let go.
At last, she'd sung her final note, and rather than ducking backstage and around she jumped lightly from the edge of the stage and strolled up the aisle to her guest.*
"Mademoiselle Lizzie, it is an honor to see you here."
*She smiled and bowed over Lizzie's hand to press a kiss to it.*

*Lizzie giggled lightly and pulled her hand back.*
"Ain't no need for that, Mister. You already got my attention."
*She looked to the stage.*
"That stuff ya'll are working on...it's...different."

*Alex smiled. Oh, she had her attention all right.*
"Yes." *She frowned slightly and glanced back at the stage, where Wood was gesticulating wildly, then turned back to Lizzie.*
"Our new director is... innovative. Just wonder if the show'll ever go up. But nevermind that; I'm delighted you came. Have you been keeping yourself busy since last we met, or is it possible no one's taken you to La Patisserie yet?"

*Lizzie's nose scrunched in confusion.*
"La Pati-what? Nah, sir. No one's taken me nowhere."
Save the doc's. I was a bit naughty.

*Alex laughed easily, not at Lizzie but in sympathy.*
"French, right? Don't know how anyone speaks the bloody language. It's a pastry shop; all sorts of the best sweets you can imagine. They do that right, anyway, the French. My treat?"

*Lizzie considered it for a long moment. She hadn't mentioned going out to Jake...but it wasn't like it was some bar. This fellow wasn't trying to liquor her up, just buy her some sweets. Surely there wasn't nothing wrong with that. Her smile broke wide and she nodded.*
"Now that sounds just fine. If 'ya don't mind."

*Alex grinned at her.*
"Wouldn't ask, if I did, now would I?"
*She offered Lizzie her arm. Like a gentleman.*
"It isn't far. Do you mind walking?"
((I'll jump us to the shop, if you have nothing to add?))

*Lizzie grinned and took his arm. Like a lady.*
"Nah. I don't mind. Found here there ain't much of nothin' too far to walk to."
((By all means.))
