Not Just Us

“We’re here,” Ace announced after he had parked the car.

I watched as he got out before opening the car door to get out myself. Ace was by my side when I stepped out of the car, and he readily offered me his hand for support. I wasn’t wearing particularly high heels, so it wasn’t much of an issue getting out of the car; however, I took his hand without hesitation. To my surprise, the place that Ace had chosen didn’t seem like such a private or hidden place at all. Unlike the other restaurants that he took me to on our secret dates, I found myself standing in front of a very tall hotel building.

“Is the restaurant in there?” I asked to confirm my understanding of the situation.

“Yup. This way…” Ace replied as he tugged on my hand for me to follow after him.
