"This restaurant is where it all began, Rose. The place where I stood up again. Where I found true love. So yeah, why not?"Rose nodded slowly. "Okay."Selena looked at her own reflection. A simple white dress with no long tails, elegantly curled hair, and small ornaments in the ears. Not glamorous. But enough. Because she was no longer a woman who had to prove herself to anyone."I'm ready," she said firmly.***Dominic stood by the small altar in the backyard of the restaurant, surrounded by candles and vines. His ivory white suit fit his body perfectly. His hands were shaking slightly, but he never lost his smile.David came over, wearing a navy suit with a gray tie."I didn't expect you to get married, Dad," David said, offering

Two years laterIn a crowded but cozy corner of the city, stood a small rustic-modern restaurant called **"Selena's Hearth "**. The white wall paint, combined with large windows and hanging potted plants, made it look warm and welcoming. Inside, the aroma of coffee, spices and toast fills the air.Selena stood behind the counter, wearing a light brown apron. Her hair is shorter now, and there is a calm smile on her face. She was helping the barista staff organize the brunch offerings."Chef! That investor from Paris is asking about the franchise!" shouted Clara, Selena's manager, waving her cell phone.Selena gave a small smile. "Tell them I'm not interested in opening a branch overseas."Clara nodded. "Will do, Boss!"After Clara left, Selena took a deep breath. Yes, her dream had come true. The restaurant was busy, the reviews were good, and she was getting invitations to various culinary events. Selena took a small notebook from her apron pocket. Inside were scribbles of new menu

Selena herself, of course.In a small studio where independent podcasts are recorded, Selena sits in front of a microphone, wearing a black blazer, hair in a simple bun.
