Lena's: POV
After shopping at the mall for several hours
We went to eat at Manhattan grill restaurant for lunch
I checked in on the girls. They were both doing okay dad told me, we're sitting at our table looking at our menus
Everything looks good, how come you never told me that you knew Amanda Stefanie. Lena asks, l didn't see the point in talking about people from my past baby
Stef says to me. The waiter came over and took our drink orders, l ordered a glass of Merlot and Stef went with sparkling water. Can you give us five minutes please
Lena said to the waiter, Lena took a sip of her wine
I think Amanda knows something about Callie
Stef States. Lena didn't know what to say
Have you decided on what your gonna order
Lena stated. I think I'm going to have the steak
The garlic mashed potatoes and glazed carrots
What are you gonna have babe, Stef asked me

You know l don't eat meat. They don't have nothing on this menu l can eat, plus I wanna be able to get into my wedding dress. Lena replied, the waiter came back
We gave him our orders. Love l'm gonna fly out to San Francisco to go see mom, for a few days. Stef tells me
Okay when are you coming back, Lena inquiries
It will only be three days. I was thinking about taking Francesca with me, while we're there she can visit Madison. Stef explains, l think she'll be excited to go

Of course love l wanna check on my mother, Stef tries to reassures her wife to be she's coming back home
Lena continues eating her food. Aww love don't go all verbal on me, Lena's light brown eyes begins water
