After they ate, they dont leave immediately. Scott searching the restaurant on his phone and Tessa updating her Instagram story with one picture they made a few days ago. She turns her phone towards Scott asking: Do you know a good caption? Scott looks at the photo, thinking a short moment and answers: My new happy place Thats awesome, she answers and writes the caption. Scott waits at his phone for someone picking up the cellphone at the restaurant. Hello, Besitos here, Maria is on the phone, how could I help you?, the voice of a woman asks from the other side of the cable. Hello, Scott answers, happy that finally someone picked up, he goes on talking: My name is Scott and I would like to reserve a table for todays evening Hello Scott. This is possible. How many people come?, she asks. Scott hears that she is turning pages, maybe in a book. We are two people. And if it is possible, can we may have a table in a silent and private place of your restaurant? Sure, thats possible. What is your full name?, she asks, he hears a pen clicking. My name is Scott Moir, you can reserve the table on this name. Thank you. One last question, when do you would like to come? Scott looks at Tessa askingly, saying: Please a moment, I ask He turns to Tessa and asks: When? Dont know, she shrug ones shoulders but answering: At seven? Scott answers: Seven? Sure, we are happy to welcome you at seven at our restaurant Besitos, the woman says. We thank you. Goodbye, Scott says. He waits until the woman says goodbye as well and than replace the cellphone. We have a table at seven, he says to her, smiling and laughing. I uploaded my Instagram feed, she says and shows him the new picture she uploaded. New comments, Scott says seeing the number of comments increase. I am a little bit sad, that I could not answer all of the questions or comments, Tessa says, going on: They are all my fans. I have to decide who of them I will write. I am scared that some fans feel less important Should I use my Instagram account to make some fans happy too?, he asks touching her hand to comfort her. Do you know your password?, she asks, knowing that Scott is really oblivious. Yes, I know it, he says and both of them laugh. Do we have any appointments today?, Scott asks, as they leave the diner. No, today is our free day., Tessa answers. Through the little streets back to their hotel they go hand in hand. They often held hands, but his time, both of them felt different about it. it feels amazing holding hands with you, Tessa says, leaning her head at his shoulder. Yes, it is one of the best feelings ever, he answers, kissing her hair softly. They stand still, face to face, looking in each others eyes. They hold hands, breathing in the same rhythm. I love you, Tessa says, smiling at him. He nods: I love you too. They lean into a kiss. Everything around them freezes. They feel like the time stands still and they are caught in their own private universe.
