Tina was so glad to finally get this done with. She was going to satiate her guilt complex and finally treat that guy Zak to a meal, in thanks for finding and returning her credit card. If it were anyone else they probably would've taken it for a random shopping spree, so she was grateful enough to insist that she get him dinner. Any guy at Salem would've jumped at the chance, so why not this guy? Well, he didn't exactly jump on the offer, he actually hesitated for a while... but he still accepted - that's what mattered!
Tina left her house really dressed down, as if she were going to the grocery store instead of on a dinner thing. It wasn't a date, that was for sure. Seriously, she'd never in a million years actually date this Zak guy - but it didn't stop her from feeling obligated to treat him. He did a good samaritan thing, so he deserved to be rewarded! Weirdo or not. Besides, no one would actually believe anyone if they said they saw her out with him. Like, come on.
There was no way she'd speak of this to anyone, ever. As far as she was concerned, this was just going to be a quick pay back dinner and then everything could just go back to normal. She wasn't trying to be anything but appreciative, that much was probably clear. It was maybe a little embarrassing to go out in a nice dining setting dressed like this, but it wasn't that uncommon for her to do so anyway. A girl had to eat, no matter how dressed up or down she was! She just picked a semi-nice place and messaged him to meet her there ahead of time. Not like he had any plans prior, but Tina wasn't really going to assume that he did - because if so, he'd make like so many other guys would and cancel those plans to meet with her so she really had no room to worry about that.
Her driver Richard dropped her off at the place at the agreed upon time and Tina ducked inside immediately. She claimed their table for two and ordered a spritzer for herself as if she weren't waiting for anyone but her actual waiter. Though when she came around Tina had to admit she wasn't going to order until her friend got there. It was still so weird, even calling him her friend when Zak was just like, some guy that was thoughtful once. She tried not to overthink it and just sipped on her carbonated drink, listening to the soft music playing overhead.
