Blindsight
“He was still in surgery doing an emergency operation."I'm supposed to take you to the restaurant," Thomas had said. "Dr. Scheffield will be meeting you there."Taken by surprise with this situation, Laurie had agreed. She'd felt strange entering the fancy restaurant by herself, but she was quickly put at ease by the maitre d', who had been expecting her. She'd been discreetly ushered to a waiting table wedged among others near to the window. Next to the table stood a wine stand icing down a bottle of Meursault. The sommelier had appeared instantly and had shown Laurie the label of the wine. After she'd nodded, he'd opened it, poured her a dollop, waited for her OK, then filled her glass. All this had been accomplished without words.Finally at five minutes before nine, Jordan arrived. He came into the room with a flourish, and although he waved a greeting at Laurie, he didn't join her immediately. Instead he weaved his way through the crowded room, stopping at several tables to say hello.
