Mike put his name in at the restaurant but it was busy and there was a 20 minute wait time. They went out and sat on a bench that overlooked Puget Sound and smoked cigarettes as they waited.

The sun calmly sank just above the Olympic Mountain range in the west and highlighted the city’s skyline to the east while wandering wisps of a breeze stirred romance in the air.
Autumn tilted her head up from Mike’s shoulder. “Still nothing?”
He glanced at his phone. “Not yet.”
She stood up and put out her cigarette. “I’m just gonna go check.”
