The Fountainhead: Howard Roark: 4

Wynand reveals to Dominique that he is having a house built for them; that the architect is Howard Roark; and that he has invited Roark over for dinner. Dominique manages to put on a façade of normalcy during the dinner; internally, she is dazed. She also doesn't believe the house will ever be built.

Five days later Wynand visits Roark in his office, and they chat amiably. On the spur of the moment, Wynand invites Roark to dine out, then phones Dominique to let her know he won't be home for dinner; he's having dinner with Roark.

Dominique has been fighting the urge to visit Roark herself.

At the Banner, Wynand instructs Toohey to never mention Roark in his column again.
