Emma
was
as
she
stepped
into
the
new
restaurant
that
had
just
opened
downtown
.
It
was
a
place
she
had
heard
so
much
about
,
and
she
was
eager
to
experience
it
for
herself
.
The
atmosphere
was
,
with
twinkling
lights
and
chic
decor
that
promised
a
night
to
remember
.
However
,
her
excitement
quickly
turned
into
dismay
as
she
realized
how
the
place
was
.
The
line
for
a
table
was
long
,
and
the
inside
was
.
The
cacophony
of
voices
and
clinking
dishes
made
it
difficult
to
enjoy
the
ambiance
.
"
Wow
,
this
is
,
"
her
friend
Mark
muttered
,
looking
around
.
"
I
can't
believe
how
it
is
.
"
Emma
nodded
,
feeling
a
bit
of
her
initial
enthusiasm
wane
.
They
waited
for
what
felt
like
an
eternity
before
finally
being
seated
.
The
service
was
slow
,
and
it
took
ages
for
their
food
to
arrive
.
When
it
did
,
though
,
Emma's
spirits
lifted
once
again
.
The
meal
was
nothing
short
of
.
The
flavors
were
complex
and
delicious
,
a
testament
to
the
chef's
skill
.
"
Okay
,
I
have
to
admit
,
this
is
,
"
Mark
said
,
taking
a
bite
of
his
dish
.
Despite
the
terrible
start
to
the
evening
,
the
food
made
up
for
it
.
They
savored
each
bite
,
forgetting
for
a
moment
the
,
environment
around
them
.
As
they
finished
their
meal
,
Emma
couldn't
help
but
reflect
on
the
evening
.
"
It
started
off
but
ended
up
being
pretty
great
,
"
she
said
with
a
smile
.
"
Yeah
,
I
guess
you
could
say
it
was
a
superbly
experience
,
"
Mark
agreed
,
laughing
.
In
the
end
,
Emma
decided
that
despite
the
initial
chaos
and
noise
,
the
food
and
fabulous
company
made
it
a
night
worth
remembering
.
