A QUICK GLANCE around the Soho restaurant informed Sophie that she’d arrived first—which was unusual.
‘And that’s a gold star for me,’ she murmured under her breath, before sending a smile to the approaching waiter. ‘I believe there’s a reservation in the name of Trent-Paterson.’
‘Certainly, madam.’
He didn’t even need to check the reservation book, but led her across the room to a table set in an alcove and screened from the rest of the room by palms. Knowing Will, it was probably the best table in the house.
