William closed his eyes in sheer ecstasy. Look, I know it's absolutely no notice at all, but would you by any chance be free for dinner tonight? he asked. Again there was a silence. And then, once again, came the words to boost any heart-even that of a middle-aged wine dealer, a failed Master of Wine, and a failed everything else-What a lovely idea! Yes, of course.
In a moment of pure joy, William revels in a spontaneous invitation for dinner, which brings him an unexpected thrill. His proposal, made without any prior arrangement, is met with a brief pause that heightens the anticipation of the reply. Despite his self-deprecating thoughts about his past failures as a wine dealer and a Master of Wine, he feels a sense of hope and excitement.
The response he receives fills him with happiness, demonstrating that even those who feel like failures can experience delightful moments. The invitation is accepted enthusiastically, reminding William of the joy of connection and the uplifting power of a simple dinner invitation, transforming an ordinary evening into something special.
