My life's only Lover

Sarah ordered another slice of cake, and she is now in a happy mood, she's been happily eating and enjoying herself since I pulled out the gloomy feeling that has been building up inside her. I felt more confident and comfortable asking her about her occupation, also a good way to keep having a conversation with her and to make her forget the things we talk about earlier. 


"So Sarah, I've been wondering..." I said as I play with my cup of coffee. She looks at me confused. 


"You know I work at my father's restaurant, right?" 


"Yes, you told me you're a the sous chef, right?" 


"Yes I am, do you ever feel curious how does my workplace look?" I kept throwing back questions at her, knowing her curiosity will allow me to peacefully make an opportunity. "Yes! I want to see how it looks, but its quite far is it?" I nod. 


"But here, I'll show you some pictures." 


I pulled out my phone and showed it to her. "Wow! Looks beautifully elegant!" She said astonished.
