Chapter 14

We finally take a seat next to the window when the waiter places the menu in front of us.

"You come here often?" I ask.

"Yeah, I love coming here when I feel lonely and sad or if I want some alone time." He says this as he drinks from the cup of water he had ordered earlier. "So, what about you?"

"What?" I ask, clueless.

"Where do you go when you feel lonely? What cheers you up?"

I look around pointedly, as if my answer is obvious. "I don't have one, I just go with the flow." I smile warmly.

"That's weird but cool." He gives a light smile.

"You think?"

He laughs at me and tilts his head. "Actually, no, but... I guess you can come here anytime. This place has a great view, and especially at night, it's more beautiful and colorful."

"Really?" I ask as I stare out the window.
