Unlike most of the grumpy-types finding their seats at the restaurant that evening, Eli seemed to have a decent attitude about the event. If she hadn't signed herself up, though, she certainly wouldn't have bothered showing up; perhaps that had something to do with it.

The email from Gold had suggested she dress nice, so she wore a dress and braided her hair.

As soon as she found the place and let herself in, she noted the people in the restaurant she didn't like. Then she found her table-- still empty-- and took her seat.
