[Eric himself took his time getting ready, showering and redressing in finer clothes than he'd had on before. For a conference a certain degree of finery was expected but he wanted to step up to the plate and make an impression for Blake, even going as far as to splash on a little cologne before he had a town car sent over to make his way to the restaurant.
When he arrives he's standing just beyond the doors of the restaurant, deliberately having told Blake to get there a few minutes after Eric himself arrived so that he could greet the man when he eventually arrived. He stood there, looking expectantly at every cab and car that passed the doors to the restaurant.
He wasn't nervous, but instead eager to have something close to a date for the night. It made a huge change from all the time he spent working and taking care of the various people at home who were dependent on him.]
