Chapter 62: The Restaurant Part 4

Matteo walked out of the kitchen holding two boxes. He brought them over to Carter and Ariana with a warm smile. "Here they are."

"Thank you so much!" Ariana took the boxes from his hands.

"You're more than welcome." Matteo smiled at her and nodded.

"Tomorrow morning, right?" Carter pointed at Matteo with his index finger.

"Yep, tomorrow morning." Matteo have him a thumbs up and winked with a smile.

"See you then. Thank you again, Matteo." Carter hugged him one last time.

Ariana went to shake the man's hand when he pulled her into a hug, as Carter took the boxes from her. "We're family now."

"Thank you." Ariana giggled, as he hugged her and let her go.

Carter led her back to the park with the boxes in his hands. He stopped under a tall tree and sat down with the boxes over his crossed legs, so they didn't touch the grass. Ariana sat down beside him and relaxed against his shoulder as they stared up at the sky.
