He looked around the fancy little restaurant and bit his lip a little. Had he just stayed at the club, he would have never been able to afford any of this. "I wanted to do something really special for you, Desmond. This night is hardly over, believe me. The fancy restaurant is just the beginning." He smiled as the waitress came over "Yes. That is definitely carrot cake. I figured you would be inclined to eat it... It is your favorite, after all." He reached over to squeeze Desmond's hand lightly "It's the whole cake, too. Though I figured you'd only take a slice now, and then we can nibble on it at home whenever we felt like." He'd definitely gone out of his way to get this cake made. The restaurant did not make these types of homey cakes, so he had to pay a bit extra, and buy the ingredients, but he would do anything to make Desmond happy, so it wasn't that much of a burden at all.
