he swallowed hard and reached his greedy fingers across his plate for the large glass of red wine. he swilled and slurped and swallowed again and set the glass back down, wiping the back of his hairy hand across the napkin draped over his shirt and tie. he bent his face towards the steak and resumed cutting, the back of his tailored suit jacket straining and stretching as he moved his gigantic arms. he bent his chin towards the plate with every mouthful and sucked at the fork. his gums clapped as he chewed and he breathed noisily through his nose. with a fist full of warm bread he sponged at the juices and pushed aside the accompanying vegetables. he shifted his weight in the small seat and looked round for waiters, as if to check that they would be ready with the dessert menu when he needed it. he splashed a chunk of fatty meat against his lips and mopped his chin.
she thumped her silk napkin down on the table in front of him, scraped back her chair and marched out of the restaurant, weaving through suprised and curious gazes. he look up from his plate and followed her out with is eyes and mouth open, a clump of chewed steak cradled in his cheek.
