~ Seattle ~
Max, Liz, and Brianna met with Hunter and Mia in front of a brick building with no signage and the girls were surprised when Max told them that they are in front of a restaurant.
It is obvious that this is one of the local secrets which are devoid of random tourists.
They walked down the steps and entered a bustling bohemian restaurant which had an acrobat swaying on a giant ring from the ceiling. People were chattering in a friendly way, even between the tables, and it seemed that everyone knows each other. Definitely a place full of locals.
While Max spoke with the restaurant greeter, Liz, Mia, and Bri observed that the lively tune is coming from the band in the corner.
"We are a bit early, so we can sit at the bar until the table is ready.", Max informed the rest.
…
"What do you think?", Max asked Liz when she sat on the barstool.
