Going To Stay

The waiter grabbed some menus and stumbled as he led them through the restaurant. 

Cage was walking a few steps behind her so as to appear separate from her. Though not happy about the situation, Katherine admitted that it was the best option for them. The people at the restaurant stared. It was a bit disconcerting so Katherine kept her head down and awkwardly walked away. 

Thank god, Henrick had been so loud before. Their seats were in the private area of the restaurant, overseeing the other patrons. They did have to go up a staircase to a balcony where they were seated. There was only one other table in the area, so they could rest in peace. 

Henrick proceeded onto playing the matchmaker as he placed Cage and Katherine beside one another, while Anna and he sat opposite to them. Katherine was fascinated to watch how minutely he had planned this out to avoid any suspicion. She had to give it up to him.
