Intriguing.
I will have to read the first part and look forward to more also.
I hope this is met well.. Because it is offered with love only, puro.. And offered because you seem like a serious writer.
If it is unwelcome, then I will in advance and ask you to let me know.. I'll keep reading and keep my comments to myself.
I think the waiter should have "brought" the coffee instead of bought..
And then 4th paragraph up from end: "one thing different here was a relaxed air here... " Maybe you want to ditch one of the 'heres' ...
Big kiss
Ah, thank you. And thank you for the pick ups
<3 a pleasure.
