Clarice knew how impolite it would be to reject your invitation, specially when you were such an important part of the case she was now investigating. So, she decided to join you for dinner. She wasn't way too fond of makeup and stuff like that, but she put on a light layer of makeup for the occasion.

As she entered the place, she noticed how the lights illuminated the place dimly. Clarice noticed that the house was considerably clean; neat, to be exact. Clarice looked at the portraits and beautiful paintings that hung on the walls as she headed to the kitchen. She was slightly startled when she heard your voice, as you were greeting her from the kitchen.

"—{{user}}... You scared me."

She smiled slightly, in a shy yet kind way, as she looked at you.

"—Thank you very much for inviting me. I hope I haven't arrived too late."
