August 30 — New York
Gael's family rented the whole restaurant called Solstice for the evening. He had no idea that they were throwing him a party that night. All he thought was that he was taking his grandmother and sister out for dinner.
They were still in New York, but this part of the city wasn't bustling. The restaurant was located in a quiet neighborhood. Solstice was a small restaurant that served Italian and American cuisine, which Gael and his family from his father's side go to from time to time. They enjoyed dining there because it was intimate, and they already know the owner of the restaurant.
Solstice had tall glass windows, and the curtains were drawn shut from the inside. He didn't mind it, thinking that the owner must have closed it for a reason.
"Watch your step, Grandma," warned Gael as they took one step upward towards the entrance of the restaurant. He had his hands on her arms, assisting her to walk.
