When we arrived at the door of the entertainment hub, Cassey was standing at the entrance. The child in her belly was growing and her bump was showing. She looked much chubbier now.
When I got out of the car, she walked toward me and quickly said, "Susan is still on the way. She'll probably arrive soon. Let's go and wait for her inside the dessert shop."
I nodded, and we went to the dessert shop next door.
The shop was well-renovated and looked especially feminine. It was a suitable place for ladies to have their afternoon tea.
Upon entering the shop, the waitress approached us." Did you make any reservations, Ma'am?"
Cassey nodded and handed her a card.
The waitress took it and nodded slightly, making a please gesture. "Please come with me, ladies."
We came to a private room, and the waitress put a tablet on the table. "You can refer to the menu here and order right away."
Cassey nodded and started swiping on the tablet." What flavors do you usually go for when eating desserts?"
I smiled slightly. "Anything. I’m not a picky eater."
She shrugged. "I’ll order, then."
After ordering, the waitress served two free desserts. " This is a new menu item in our shop and isn't for sale yet. We appreciate any feedback you may have after trying it."
Cassey picked it up and gave it a try before saying with a smile, "It's rather good."
The waitress smiled. "I’m glad you like it, Ma’am."
Cassey put down the plate and said, "Another one of our friends isn't here yet. You can serve our orders when she's here."
