Rozalin pulled back, chewing slowly, eyes half closed and then in a flash produced a napkin to wipe her lips before responding. "Well, you can tell 'Big Tony' that he makes an acceptable pizza by my standards. But I think I will use the utensils in the future." Looking at him she caught his blush and blinked once.

And then what she had just done caught up to her and she blushed faintly herself. She resisted the urge to cover her decoletage, but only just, and instead waited for a moment before coughing lightly into her hand. She was about to ask him to leave-but another thought occurred to her. And before she could stop it, she was speaking "So! This is a bit bigger than I was anticipating. Since you won't take the money I offered...would a share of the pizza be acceptable?"

Why had she asked him to stay?!?
