The song "Sea of Love" by The Honeydrippers fits like a glove to express how Adrian felt when he saw Melissa enter the restaurant.

The fact that Melissa was always flanked by Elisa Bento made her more powerful and important. When the receptionist at Crystal Blue saw the two, he didn't even ask for a reservation: he promptly bowed and let them pass.
