But if we don’t want to starve to death, maybe you should do that alone.”  He sniffed a little.  “And I like your strawberry shampoo much better than bleach.”  He leaned forward and kissed her forehead.

Then he straightened.  “Oh! I did think of something to do for your last day - or close to it.  Seeing as it isn’t a 24 hour diner, I was thinking of inviting the whole staff and their families or plus ones out for dinner - my treat.  I was sort of thinking of a karaoke night out.  Maybe rent a conference center, hire a band of DJ, and have catering.  Or if you know a good karaoke place that could handle all of us, that would work.  I hope you can sing.  You know they will expect you to get up on stage.”

“For tonight though … maybe …” he stopped.  “Hmm, I can’t really think of much on short notice like that that would be a unique experience.  We could go over to my place and have room service bring something and just be lazy.  Uhm, a butler also comes with the villa suites.  Or I get preferred seating in the Nobu restaurant.  But I think they have a dress code.”
