Owen breathed in deeply through his nose and nodded slowly. He seemed to be admitting that he was in the midst of quite an undertaking. “Yes, I am homeschooling them. It’s - ah - well.” HIs laugh was breathy and he looked down at his lap for a moment. “Cain has been expanding his tricks, as you very well know. So their education is going just fine. I’m not sure I’ll survive it though.” He was obviously being humorous and light, though clearly there was a hint of truth about the challenges he was joking about.
The waiter delivered their cocktails and reassured them their meal would arrive soon. Owen thanked him and as he watched the waiter retreat from their table he noticed something curious. He cocked his head and leaned over. Sure enough, there were curtains that could be released from a cord on the wall. Gazing around the room, many tables tucked into the walls were hidden by those curtains.
Owen glance at Julianna was conspiratorial as he tried to gauge if she had noticed what he had. He unbound the cords that held the curtain and pulled it across so that they were shrouded in sudden privacy. The space became immediately more intimate. Somewhat quieter, a little darker, and it felt a bit naughty. Owen grinned at her and got up to shift around to her side of the table, sharing the booth with her. He slung his arm over the back of the booth and cozied up next to her. He dragged his new cocktail across the table to him and took a sip, peaking at her from the side of his vision to gauge how she was taking the sudden change of pace.
“So woodworking, huh?” He said jokingly. It sounded like a double entendre. They were so close in the private space. It felt like they should huddle together and tell secrets in the not-so-public public space.
