[The reason he wasn't called until mid afternoon is because she was dealing with house keeping. Having to play up the part of a well-ranked guest that just happens to have ~eccentricity~.

By the time he arrives all the "cooking" will have been done anyway. The herbal medicine of anaphrodisiacs mixed with other ingredients in an attempt to make it potent but tolerable. People don't need it to taste like candy, but they at least need the tradeoff to be worth it. She'll wait for his knock at the door. Or text. She's done fiddling with her watch (she hates it) until he arrives.]
