The tension in the room ratcheted up a notch when Marcel finally settled down. It was so thick that one could slice at it with a knife. In fact, Clara began to question if it was a mistake to reserve the whole place because the emptiness made everything more uncomfortable.

"Now, what's the reason for this special occasion?" Marcel asked before turning to her, "You didn't tell me that this was a double date, only that my father is missing a partner," He was being sarcastic.
"Marcel..." Clara warned him. She did this with good intention, why couldn't he appreciate that.
