Howard picks at the salad with restraint that, to anyone who knows his habits, borders on superhuman. He's desperately afraid of embarrassing himself in front of Rose, and if he's not paying attention to what he's doing his eating habits are still closer to a starving person's than a normal adult's.

Rose swallows, dabs at her mouth with a napkin and grins. "I haven't been out for a nice dinner in a while. This vacation is the first time we've been eating fancy food in quite the while. And wedding planning?"

Howard smiles and blushes. "It was just, you know. I didn't want Barbara getting all stressed out about it so I did it for her. It wasn't that hard, just lots of phone calls and stuff."
