Young Theodore Whein was returning home after a tough basketball practice. A week later, their team will have a difficult match with the "Washington Wizards". Theodore was one of the best players, so he could not refuse such an offer.
While the guy was walking in his thoughts, he realized that he needed to go to the supermarket and buy groceries for home. After walking a few steps, the guy turned around and went to the other side of Manhattan. Theodore simply did not want to go home, knowing that no one was waiting for him there, so he went towards his favorite cafe "Dark Secret". Entering the cafe, he sat down at a table near the window and waited for the waiter. A minute later, a young girl of 17 years old with beautiful blue eyes and red hair approached him. "Apparently she works here as a waitress" Whein began to think.

— Hello, here is your menu. — said the girl, smiling sweetly and holding out the menu. The guy took the menu and began to consider drinks and desserts.

— I'd like a salted caramel cappuccino and a berry cheesecake, please. — the guy said.

The girl nodded and quickly wrote everything down in a notebook. She turned and left. After 2 minutes, the girl returned with a check.

— Your order will be ready in 10 minutes. Here is your receipt. —  she said and was about to leave when suddenly Theo took her hand.

—Excuse me, can I suggest you take a walk along the coast?— he whispered so quietly that no one except the waitress heard it.
Theo himself did not understand why he said this, but there is nothing more to change.

—Unfortunately, I can't right now, I have to work... But we can go for a walk tonight, if you don't mind.— There was a note of sadness in the girl's voice.

— Okay, I need your phone number, I'll write to you.— Theodore said and let go of his hand. The girl nodded and walked towards the kitchen.

— Peter, order for table 7: a special berry cheesecake and a cup of cappuccino with salted caramel. — the girl turned to one of the employees.

While preparing an order for Theo, the girl went for business cards. On one she wrote information about herself:
"Jessica Stars
Phone number: (212) ****** "
"I think that's enough, he doesn't need an address," thought Jess.
— Jess, the order is ready. You can carry it," Peter said. Jessica put the business cards and a pen in her apron pocket, picked up the tray of orders, and headed to the side 7th table.
"This guy seems familiar to me, I think I know him..." Stars began to think.

— Your order, bon appetit. Jessica said and took the money from the table.
I almost forgot, here's my business card.
And please write your name, surname and phone number in the second one, so that I can write you down, — the girl said, holding out her business cards to Theodore.
"Theodor Whein
Phone number: (212) ******"
He silently gave the business card to the girl and began to eat. Jessica took the business card and began to read. She was in shock.
The best basketball player of the main team of Manhattan himself offered her a walk.
When Whein finished drinking coffee, he stood up from his chair and headed towards the administration.

— Can I speak to Jessica Stars?
The woman who was standing near the administration just nodded and went into the kitchen.

- Jess, you are asked to come here.

-I'm going.—  the girl shouted.

Jess came out of the kitchen and saw Theodore.

- Did you want something?

- So ... Jessica, let's go, otherwise it's somehow not convenient for me. And yes, I wanted to ask, is the offer still valid?

- Good. Yes, everything is in force, but how much and where?

— I'll call you later and discuss everything.

The guy turned around and left. He had to go home and choose suitable clothes for the evening walk and figure out where to meet.
