Mera.

He took me to an upscale restaurant. I was very careful with every move I made, worried that my behavior would not seem proper.

He noticed my nervousness and bent down and whispered to me, "Don't be nervous, just be casual."

The waiter courteously led us to a seat against the window. From here, we could overlook the entire city.

The table was set with delicate cutlery and a white napkin was neatly arranged.

The waiter handed me a menu, which I picked up and flipped through hesitantly, unsure of what to order.

"You can order whatever you want." He said thoughtfully.

I saw how expensive each dish was and didn't dare order too much, only ordering two.

"Don't save me money." He flipped through the menu and added a few more dishes and desserts.

The dishes were brought to the table one by one, each one a well-cooked delicacy.

When dessert was served, a delicate chocolate mousse caught my attention. I gently scooped up a small bite for me with a spoon and slowly brought it to my mouth.
