She got him in that sweet spot between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, so he's at least eating something tonight even if he will be quietly avoiding the usual meat and dairy products he doesn't normally touch.
He didn't dress up too nicely but he did bother with a nice and clean button up shirt, and neat pants. Of course she spots him shuffling closer tugging on his clothes and taking shaky breaths before he spots her, but when he does eventually spot her he has a little deer in headlights moment. Too late to stand her up - not that that thought had crossed her mind - and too late to act anything other than genuinely surprised for a smidgen too long.
At least he doesn't cringe or greet her with 'Oh, it's... you...' He manages a brave, tight-lipped smile and nods in her direction before coming up within conversational distance. Notice how he's not within slapping distance though.
"Hey, you." Not much better. Does he get points for trying at least? "Wasn't expecting a familiar face."
