Morgan arrived at the boutique fifteen minutes later, just as he promised. As he entered the store, he caught Melody's eye and gave her a warm smile. She couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart as she watched him make his way towards her.
"Hey, Mel," he said as he approached her. "How's everything going?"
"Everything's great," Melody replied with a smile.
"Do you need any help with anything else?"
Melody shook her head. "No, Samantha was a great help. I'm all set."
"Well, in that case, let's get you out of here and on our way to the dinner."
Morgan took her to The Crowned Plate, a charming, upscale restaurant that exuded elegance and sophistication where she could try fish and chips for the first time. Soft classic music played in the background as they were led to their table, which was adorned with a crisp white tablecloth and sparkling silverware.
