It was late in the afternoon when Zayden brought Luna to the main branch of his Leaf & Flame Restaurant. Matagal na niya itong gustong gawin. Ang dalhin si Luna sa lugar na ‘to.
“Is this the place?” tanong ni Luna at tumigil sa sidewalk.
She looked at the restaurant with the name ‘Leaf and Flame Restaurant’ carved in dark iron above the entrance, surrounded by ivy that curled up the edges of the wood-paneled façade. Large glass windows glowed with warm, golden light from inside, giving the whole place a gentle and inviting feeling that, even from the outside, it already felt like comfort.
Zayden gave a sheepish smile and nodded. “Yeah, welcome to Leaf and Flame Restaurant. This was the main branch.”
“Really?”
Tumango si Zayden.
Naglakad si Luna palapit. “Ang ganda.”
