Chapter 54

"When we decided on going to eat pasta, I expected a nice restaurant filled with people enjoying the lunch hour but this is something else. What is happening here, Liam?" Veronica asked, looking around the empty restaurant as she walked in.

She wasn't going to ignore the obvious that Liam paid someone to have it empty just for them. Veronica noticed a man on the outside puzzled that the sign said closed but they were allowed to enter.

"I thought you would like to eat in peace," Liam replied.

"I've learned that I am good at drowning out noise so you don't need to make it empty for me."

"Well, then I made it empty for me," Liam replied so his actions were justified. 

Veronica wanted to reach to pinch Liam but he was holding her hand in a way she couldn't reach his skin. Rather than object and go somewhere else to eat, she planned to enjoy the moment. Something like this might only be seen in movies yet she was experiencing it.
