A supper for two with room to talk
Set up the conversation as carefully as the plates.
Choose comfortable positions
Sit where you can look at each other without turning sharply. Move a tall centrepiece if it interrupts the view. A small table does not need much decoration: the food and the people already give it a purpose.
Reduce repeated interruptions
Bring the items you expect to need within reach before sitting down. Agree on anything that needs attention during the meal, so one person is not constantly listening for a timer. Once the practical details are settled, let the evening develop without filling every pause with a new activity.
