Sarah had always been fascinated by the idea of living a glamorous life in the big city. She grew up in a small town with her parents, and while she loved them dearly, she couldn't help but feel like she was destined for something more. So, when she graduated from high school, she packed her bags and moved to the city to start a new life.
At first, everything was exciting and new. Sarah found a job as a waitress in a fancy restaurant and made friends with people from all walks of life. But as time passed, she realized that the city was a dangerous place, full of people who were not what they seemed.
One day, while working at the restaurant, Sarah was working her usual shift at the restaurant, serving tables and taking orders from customers. She noticed a handsome man sitting alone at one of the tables, reading a book. He looked up as she approached him to take his order, and their eyes met. Sarah felt a jolt of electricity run through her body, and she couldn't help but smile.
Sarah approached the table with her order pad in hand. "Good afternoon, what can I get for you today?" she asked with a smile.
Luca looked up from his book and smiled back. "Hi, I'll just have the spaghetti with meatballs, please."
"Sure thing," Sarah replied, jotting down his order. "Is there anything else I can get for you?"
Luca hesitated for a moment before speaking up. "Actually, do you have a favorite book or movie? I'm always looking for new recommendations."
Sarah's eyes lit up. "Oh, I love 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee. It's such a classic."
"Ah, I've heard great things about that one," Luca said, leaning forward. "What about music? What kind of music do you like?"
Sarah shrugged. "I listen to a little bit of everything, but I really love indie and alternative music. What about you?"
"I'm more of a classical guy myself," Luca replied, taking a sip of his water. "But I appreciate all genres of music."
As Sarah placed Luca's meal in front of him, he looked up at her and smiled. "Thank you, Sarah. This looks delicious."
Sarah blushed at the compliment. "You're welcome, Luca. Let me know if you need anything else."
Luca put his fork down and looked up at her. "Actually, Sarah, there is something else I wanted to ask you. Would you like to go out with me tonight?"
Sarah's heart skipped a beat at the question. She hesitated for a moment before answering. "I... I don't know. I have work tomorrow morning..."
Luca took her hand in his. "Please, Sarah. I promise to have you home at a reasonable hour. We can go for a walk or see a movie. Whatever you'd like."
Sarah looked into Luca's eyes, and she saw something there that made her heart race. She took a deep breath before nodding. "Okay, Luca. I'll go out with you tonight."
Luca's face lit up with a smile. "Wonderful. I'll pick you up at 7 pm, okay?"
Sarah nodded, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. She had never been asked out on a proper date before, and she didn't know what to expect.
