Anyway, Michael and Maris kept their hormones in check for the time while for dessert to arrive. As Michael thought to himself in regards to his prospective lover, she was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life, and the woman he wanted to to a family with. Maris asked Michael what his intentions were in regards to their budding relationship, and was he sincere regarding his intentions where she was concerned. Maris had just got out of a failed relationship with her longtime agent, Vinnie DeCarlo, with whom she had been in a relationship with on/off for fives, and he was a still married to his wife, Yvonne, when they first met after she signed on with his agency years earlier. For years, Vinnie had been promising Maris that he would leave Yvonne and they could get married and start their new life together, but Maris had enough of his shenanigans, so she ended the affair just two weeks prior to meeting Michael at the party, and she wasn't going to date anyone else for awhile; however, all that was going to change now that he came into her life at a vulnerable state of mind.

Michael managed to pull himself together in order to answer question, and he did. "Well, first off, I like you a lot and I would like to get to know, and you're a very beautiful woman," he replied,"There's something about you that fascinates me, let me assure, sweetie, my intentions are strictly honorable where you are concerned." After hearing Michael's response, Maris felt at somewhat at ease with Michael for the reason he was everything she wanted in a man compared to Vinnie, so she decided to give a Michael a chance. The waiter arrived with the key lime pie along with the coffee and they proceeded to eat their dessert while Michael took his napkin and placed it on her lap so he wouldn't get any crumbs on her dress, which made Maris reconsider giving love another try. Seeing how the same amount of makeup, Michael and Maris had traces of lipstick on their coffee cup;as well, as the napkins while wiping their mouths while eating the key lime pie. "By the way, I enjoyed the evening and we should again sometime," Maris replied. Michael nearly fell out of his chair when she told him that she actually felt comfortable being around him; as well, as his honesty in regards to where their relationship is going. Then she got up from her chair and reached over to Michael and kissed him on his cheek leaving as trace of lipstick on it. "Thank you," he replied,"This our first date and I wasn't expecting that". "Oh, you're welcome, and I'm going to Paris next week for a modeling assignment, and I was wondering would you like to with with me," she asked. "Yes, I would like that let me check my schedule and I'll get back to you," Michael replied.

Having accepted the invitation to join her on assignment the following week was hope the first step in their relationship, and Michael wasn't going turned an opportunity to spend a week in Paris with his new sweetheart. Michael decide to accept her invitation to join her on location knowing he wasn't back in the recording studio for another eight weeks.
