Chapter 15

Mar and I stayed at the seats of Clements ice cream stand.

"Too many things have happened all at once..."

Mar leaned into me.

"I know. But... we can only just live through it, right?"

Mar smiled again.

"I guess so... but..."

Mars smile faded into a frown.

"But?"

"I can't get the image of the murder we saw yesterday out of my head... out of my conscious. And Clement... now he left..."

"You always have me to console in. Don't forget that."

Mar closed her eyes.

"Promise me everything will be ok..."

I don't know if I can promise that...

I can't make everything ok... but... I can sure try.

"I promise Mar. Everything will be just fine. There won't be any more of this craziness."

Mar sat up and kissed me on the cheek.

"Thank you Joseph. I love you... you know that right?"

I kissed Mar on the lips.

"Of course I do. I love you Mar."

We both stared into each other's eyes for a moment before we stood up from our chairs.

"Do you want to go get something to eat?"

Mar asked me shyly.

It hasn't been that long since breakfast has it?

Mars stomach growled.

She blushed and held onto it. I think she's hungry...

"Sure. Let's go eat."

We walked to the closest restaurant we could find, Vito's pizza. Nice place too. It's a little quiet for a restaurant though...

As we walked into the restaurant we noticed only one table was in the center of the room.

Only one? What is up with this place?

A man dressed in a fancy waiters outfit stepped in and prepared the table nicely. He placed a candle in the middle and walked away.

Mar and I stared confused at the table. Please don't tell me-

"Welcome!"

A familiar voice came from the cashier's desk. I turned to my side to see Noel dressed nicely in a waitress uniform. She set this up, didn't she?

Noel smiled and said

"It seems we only have one table at the moment... and you two are the first customers to enter all day... so I guess it's yours."

The first? No... She set this up... with ungodly speed... how do they set these things up so fast?

I turned to look at Mar.

She smiled faintly and held onto my arm a little tighter.

"Guess were pretty lucky..."

"Hehehe... yea..."

If you only knew...

We felt someone start pushing us from the back towards the table.

"Go on you two, I insist!" Noel said as she tried to gently shove us to the table.
