Small stop
The restaurant was full, even though it was only afternoon. There were all kinds of groups - families with children having dinner together after a walk in the park, teenagers who came for pizza and soft drinks, and attracted by the pool tables and foosball machines. Young couples on an early date and older men and women came to share a drink at the bar. The atmosphere was typical of a family establishment combined with a game room. There was a small podium in the corner where two young men were quietly working hard for a few bucks to take their girls out on a Friday night.
Gabriela immediately approved of the atmosphere. It was a pleasant place to rest, to enjoy benevolent interest, and to eat something delicious. The two headed for a quiet table by the window and waited for the waitress to approach. In a few moments, she was with them.
