The Applebee's looked just like Cierra remembered. There were stained glass lights above the tables and the booths alternated between light brown and maroon. Whoever created Applebee's had worked hard to create an unobtrusive, relaxed setting. Everything about the place suggested 'Have a seat and chat for a while.'
It wasn't the most romantic place, but then again, Cierra thought to herself, she wasn't even sure what today was. Now that she had all day to mull it over, she realized this could simply be a friendly get together of two people who happened to be stuck in the same group. Like going out with a classmate to discuss a group project.
