Stamped

Day 02 ***MIDNIGHT DINER***

After having their picture taken they walked through the boulevard towards the Eiffel Tower, slowly in the night of Paris they kept moving feeling the fresh breeze of the night from the Seine, and while they moved closer to the Eiffel Tower they arrived to a little corner where Mireya stopped "I'm tired and hungry" she said staring at the sign of a restaurant.

"So I'm guessing you are up for having a snack somewhere?" Replied Mark with a grin

"Well, yes!" She answered as her feet stomped against the floor, walking towards the glowing lights of the Eiffel Tower before them "What does he think that -I'm hungry- means?" Mireya thought while she walked through the deserted avenue of Paris.

Behind her looking around at the beautiful night city scenario of Paris, Mark was trying to record all he could into his memory while walking close behind his sister, she seemed to be hunting something "A restaurant, no doubt, she must be starving, poor thing" he thought while following her silently, it was not a very good idea to try to strike a chat when she was in that mood, the wise thing to do would be to withdraw before any battle, so he followed her looking at her march as a hound walks while hunting down a fox in the field.

The two brothers kept walking along Quai de Grenelle for a while longer when suddenly Mireya gasped and let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank god!" She said removing the weight of the world out of her shoulders "Lights! Civilization and hopefully some food" she added, while lifting her finger and pointing out towards a small but well illuminated establishment with neon signs and color lamps inside, after only witnessing the lights of the Parisian public street illuminated night, that small corner seemed heaven for her, a promise where she could rest her feet and grab a bite so, without thinking it twice she went across the avenue Quai de Grenelle, and stood at the corner of that very avenue with the Rue du Dr Finlay waiting for her brother to catch up.

Mark saw her walk towards the little restaurant and followed her slowly, it was Paris, he wasn't going to waste the scenarios by running around and missing out the sights, so he walked slowly towards his destination, he didn't even read the sign that displayed the name of the restaurant, he was just following his sister and she went inside so Mark did the same thing. Once inside Mireya headed to a small table with a little red paper lamp floating above it, she placed her bag beside her and pulled her long dark brown hair back behind her shoulders, quickly grabbed the menu, let out a little grin and then her eyes went down deep into the dishes displayed on the list.

"Wait! What?!" Mireya's eyes studied the menu once more "This has to be a joke! Is this for real?!" her mind was in shock however it was not the delicacies that were displayed on the elegant menu what made her mind go bonkers, no, it was the price of such exquisite delicacies, they might be served on diamonds yet she was still not willing to pay that amount of money for supper. "Let's get out of here" she whispered to Mark, to what he responded with a confused face and lifting an eyebrow "It's too expensive, I'm not willing to pay this, it's just too much, so, let's go, we'll find something else, somewhere else, come on." And after saying that she grabbed her bag, stood up and faced the exit.

"Oh no, this cannot be happening" Mark's mind was stunned while he saw Mireya get ready to leave "Is this for real?" he couldn't give credit to his eyes, his sister was displaying a scene as if she was a broke girl, they had just arrived to Europe two nights ago and yet she was acting like if she was running out of money "God this is so embarrassing, I can't believe she is going on with this" was a thought that crossed his mind as he slowly started packing up his things, then he realized he was moving in quite a slow motion and the waiters were starting to notice his table, Mark lifted his eyes and saw Mireya already outside the Restaurant and with that he realized the awkward situation he was on, so his eyes went down at his stuff and picked up everything quickly and pulled his back behind his shoulder, he stood up quickly, waved his head to fix his hair and marched out of the restaurant.
