Cheers Alter taking a sip of the champagne, she asked, “Please don’t tell me you paid for the whole restaurant just for today…” No one else was inside the restaurant.

Bourguignonne. Nestled in their shells, the escargot were bathed in a rich garlic and herb butter sauce.

Here we go Alexander announced with a satisfied smile, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. The scent of the escargot mingled with the subtle fragrance of roses and lilies, creating an intriguing mix of aromas that filled the air.

Sona eyed the dish, the plump snails glistening in the golden sauce. She wasn’t quite sure about snails, but the presentation was undeniably elegant. “Well, here’s to trying new things she remarked, lifting her fork. Alexander followed suit, and together they delved into the culinary adventure before them.

The escargot proved to be a surprising delight, the flavors dancing on Sofia’s palate in a harmonious blend of garlic and

butter.

Soon enough, the next dish arrived, and it was a sight to behold. The waiter carefully placed a dish of Coq au Vin in front of them. The aroma of the slow-cooked chicken, bathed in a savory red wine sauce, wafted through the air, eliciting a collective appreciation.

Alexander’s eyes lit up with approval as he surveyed the perfectly braised chicken. “Coq au Vin,” he declared as if presenting a cherished masterpiece. A classic that never fails to impress.”

The familiar notes of red wine and herbs melded seamlessly with the tender chicken, creating a comforting and delightful experience.

Finally, the sweet finale arrived in the form of decadent desserts. The waiter skillfully presented a duo of desserts on : gleaming platter. A slice of rich Chocolate Mousse Cake adorned with a dollop of whipped cream shared the spotlight with a delicate arrangement of Creme Brûlée.

Sofia’s eyes widened with anticipation as the desserts were placed before them. The air around them seemed to fill with the tempting scent of chocolate and the sweet aroma of caramelized sugar.

Seeing this dish, Sofia’s expression completely changed. Memories of the past when she and her mother visited Paris resurfaced in her mind.

Paris was not the prettiest place that she had been to but… it was the last place that she visited before her mother had fallen

into a coma

On their last day in Paris, her mother took her to a restaurant just to eat this specific dessert.

Seeing the same thing in front of her was quick to bring back memories of her mother and her.

Her mother Eunice Lockhart always loved food. She liked to explore and try out new things. However, her favorite was the simple Crème Brûlée.

“Are you alright?” Alexander asked.

“Of course..” Sofia beamed, showing a dimple as she met his eyes “Thank you.”

He gave her a knowing look so she added. “This is the perfect way to wrap up this meal… thank you.” Unable to resist the allure of the desserts, eagerly picked up her fork

The velvety richness of the Chocolate Mousse Cake melted in her mouth, while the Creme Brulee offered a delicate contrast with its creamy texture and the satisfying crackle of the caramelized sugar on top.

However, the only thing that surprised her was the fact that it tasted exactly like the one that she had with her mother
