Tomorrow's gonna be a better day.

[It's right at 10 till 8 when Howard shows up at pepper's home with a bouquet of orchids and a bottle of Sassicaia. He's not a man overly concerned with punctuality, but he figures it'll be a nice change of pace for Pepper, who's probably used to dragging Tony into meetings by the scruff of his neck.]

Miss Potts? Hope I'm not too early.

[Pepper smiles and dips a piece of bread into the pot, twirling it around.]

It always manages to make you feel good, doesn't it? You could have the worst day of your life, then one pot of this and suddenly you just feel warm and fuzzy.

You want to share some stories? I would love to hear the fondue story from your side.

Not much to tell. [He stares at his plate for a moment, conjueing up a few memories. ] I'm an old man, Miss Potts. My stories are outdated, my memories are expired goods. I just thought this wouldn't happen to me for at least another fifty years or so.

And I'm not too keen on spending dinner spinning a few tales about the 'good old days'.
