Chapter 7

Leila walked through the tables speechlessly. Her attention was simply stolen by the beautiful view that ley beyond the tall glasses. She tried to follow Ethan and the waiter without stumbling, but given her lack of attention, she wondered how long she could go without tripping on her own two feet.

The table Ethan had reserved had been right by the window, where she was lucky enough to get a full glance at the city from the thirstiest floor. Under the night sky, the city looked like a thread of lights. They twinkled brightly, some moving some standing still. Some were pale others were blinding or colorful. Leila couldn’t even begin to express the beauty that she faced.

She had heard of dining at such high places, but she had never experienced it herself. Ethan, as always, had surprised her. His taste remained impeccable, just as she remembered it to be. By the time she had snapped out of her amazement, they were already at their table. Ethan, like the gentleman he was, pulled out her chair and was patiently waiting for her to take a seat.

“This place is amazing.” She whispered.

“It just opened. I thought you would like to see the whole city.” He smiled proudly.

“You know, it changed a lot.” She said with a sad smile, her eyes still lingering on the view.

“The city maybe, but the people didn’t.” Ethan shrugged as he opened one of the menus. “So, how about I order the wine first, and we can think about whatever we want to eat?”

Leila smiled and nodded. She didn’t bother to try and look through the wine section, she knew her knowledge didn’t even come close to Ethan’s. If there was anyone who could choose a good drink, it was definitely him.

As he looked through the written lines, she couldn’t help but steal a few glances at him. He was handsome as ever, with his hair styled back and his suit hugging his arms and back at all the right places. From beneath his light blue shirt she could see the outline of his well-built muscles. She wasn’t sure how long she had been staring, but eventually she heard him say:

“Like what you see?”

Leila felt her blood boil with guilt. She looked away almost immediately. From the corner of her eyes, she saw him put the menu down and wave at the waiter, who, in return, came back almost immediately. Leila heard him order some wine she hadn’t heard of before, but judging by the date of manufacture, she didn’t doubt it was good.

“So, shall we talk before or after the food?” Ethan asked.

Leila could tell it was as hard on him as it was on her. They both knew that the conversation was inevitable, but it wasn’t the most pleasant of all. Their decision upon their future was bound by what they were about to talk. Leila tried not to look so affected by the matter, although deep inside, she dreaded it.

“How about we get it over with? Might as well eat in peace afterwards.
