She had accepted an invitation for dinner at our house, plus it was our opportunity to impress her with our cooking skills.
I am a chef by profession, but I rarely have the option to make a meal for someone special. I do not cook in our own condo most of the time because I have our meals at the restaurant. She was someone I was hoping to build a future with, plus so I went all out with the meal. That day I even passed by the local company to pick an air cleaner I had ordered the previous day. The heat pump’s air cleaner cared for the indoor air pollen levels, but I still felt the need to ensure that all was perfect. The same day I made the order, a professional came in for repair plus duct cleaning. The cleaning was because there was a foul aroma coming from the air ducts, which I highly suspect was a dead rodent, plus duct sealing to eliminate such an occurrence in the future. It also necessitated an air quality systems unit to rid the condo of the aroma because I did not guess that the heat plus A/C products would get rid of the aroma when our guest arrived. I had also replaced the air filter with a modern washable filter which I found more economically favorable. With the ductwork rid of vermin plus the thermostat reset to achieve the best when it came to indoor comfort, I could comfortably cook for our date plus supply it our best. Since it was an early dinner, by several AM, she had arrived, plus the people I was with and I loved our meal. I didn’t come apartment to an empty plus freezing apartment a year later.
