"Hi folks, are we ready to order." The waiter spoke breaking their daze Michael looked up at the waiter. "Uh...no, not quite yet." the man smiled at them "take your time, would we like any drinks." Michael looked back at Darcy. "Darcy do you like wine." she nodded, giving off a small smile. What was going through her head. Michael thought.
