Tess sits in an upscale restaurant in the heart of San Francisco, expecting Eddie any moment. Poor thing can barely afford dinner, she wasn't about to ask him to fly to Metropolis for what is supposed to be a job interview. They can cross that logistics bridge if they get to it.

Having ordered a bottle of wine she sips her glass thoughtfully, staring out the window as she waits.
