"Alright, gentleman. Sorry to be late... but anyway, what would you like to order?" The waitress apologized before she asked gently.

"I'll get a bit of burnt Kobe Steak." Jack answered before Mark could speak as the waitress writes down Jack's answer and turns to the American.

"I would get a large bowl of golden caviar."  Mark answered before taking another sip of his carbonated cola.

"Really good choices, you guys are the firsts ones here to pick out the rarest foods" The waiter said as she wrote them down in cursive, "I will be back in a moment with your dinner." Before she could leave, she spots the candle getting run out, "hold on gentleman. I will also be back in a few minutes with a new candle."

"Okay."

"No problem."

"Thank you." The waiter bowed down gracefully with her hands behind her back before she left with her heels clacking when Jack stares at them down till' Mark interrupted him.

"So, Jack. How are you feeling?"

"Never been better."

"Glad to hear it." Mark smiled brightly before taking his another sip of his carbonated cola which it's going half empty.

Jack concentrates the relaxation, elegance, and a beautiful song played on the speakers clearly. Which it's more of a solo piano music. He closed his eyes thinking soothly and pondering his girlfriend, without a tear shedding. Cause this music makes him relaxed and reminding him of Mark. Until the waitress came back with a new homemade candle that is flavored juiciest pumpkin spice with a very strong smell as the waitress lights up the fire with her lighter and sets the three small strings sticking up on fire at the top, making the smell even stronger which Jack and Mark enjoyed it.

"In case you haven't noticed, this candle is very rare. And it's homemade." The waitress explained.

"It's smells like pumpkin spice." Jack responded.

"That's the flavor, it has the most strongest smell that will soothe your nostrils." The waitress replied. "Now I'm very sorry for the away of your order. I will there immediately. I will be back in a moment... enjoy yourselves..."  the waitress bowed down faithfully before she walked away clacking her heels once again.

As Jack sighed remembering her girlfriend without any shedding tears. He thinks of his and her fight about a silly thing. He pulled out an apology note from Signe out of her pocket opening up the small piece of paper reading clearly on the words that Signe wrote.

"Hey, Jack. I'm sorry that we were fighting about a clumsy thing... I knew I shouldn't started it, but your opinion is my opinion. I hope that we are still together... I love you very much... please give me some time to let me calm down. Once again, I love you."

                                                                                                     - Signe Hansen

Jack grunted as he clutches the paper till' he glanced at the candle, he looked back at the note and glimpsed back at the candle while Mark is looking up on his Twitter.

Without hesitation, Jack slowly moves his note in his hand towards the candle. Towards the fire as the paper slowly burns into ashes, till' the very end of the corner. Separating his hands and sets the hand back to his side waiting for his food continuing listening to the music while meditating without crossing his legs but just holding his hands together closing his eyes hanging his head.


It's not over yet of the dinner.
