//------------------------------// // Chapter 10 // Story: In and Out of Phase // by Vic Fontaine //------------------------------// “Good evening to you too, sir. Yes, we’re doing great actually. “No, not our first time here. This is ten years in a row now. Yep! This is is our anniversary spot. Has been since we moved here a decade ago. Just that good indeed, hehe. Really though, the food is always amazing, and the views over the city can’t be beat. So why change, right?” “Ah, wine. Yes. We did pick one. Um, let me see… argh, lost my page in the wine list. Eh, do do do... ah! Here. This Cotes du Rhone right… there. Yep, the twenty sixteen.” “Great, thanks!” “Well then. Happy anniversary, Twilight.” “I love you too.” “Clear city view this time. Good. Hate it when clouds get in the way of a summer day.” “Beautiful sunset out there too.” “I knew you would say that.” “Well, when you’re on nearly fifteen years together, I guess we all get a bit predictable.” “Nah, you can tell me that anyway. That’s one line that will never get old to me.” “So, get the usual? Or change it up this year?” “Oh! The Chateaubriand for two? Wow, that really is changing it up! But sure, let’s go for it! ‘Yolo’, right?” “Wait, shoot! We need to switch the wine then!” “Yes, we do. Trust me. I did actually pay attention in that tasting class we took during your research trip to Paris, you know.” “Um, waiter. Y-yes, sorry! Can we get the Bordeaux instead?”
