Emyr watched as Arwen and Aiden made their way toward the noodle stall, utterly baffled. No matter how much he tried, he couldn't grasp the reason for this change in plans. Weren't they supposed to dine at Demeter —the most exclusive Michelin-starred restaurant, well-known in Cralens?
His thoughts raced. How had things shifted so drastically in favor of this humble, old stall? If word got out that someone had cancelled a reservation at Demeter for this, it would stir a wave of shock across the country. Demeter might not be able to take the things it would do to its hard-earned reputation.
Emyr shook his head, frustration creeping into his voice as he glanced at the driver. "Neil, what do you think of this place?"
At first, Neil seemed confused, but then, noticing Emyr looking outside, he followed his gaze and replied, "It seems decent. They have decorated it nicely, and with so many people here, the food must be pretty good."
