After telling Mark about their plans, Aiden and Niara headed out for lunch but not without her lunch buddy noticing how her best friend looked like he wanted to stop them but couldn't do anything about it.
"Where are we going? We only have an hour break?" Aiden reminded Niara from behind her as he let her walk slightly ahead of him.
"Yes, sir. Don't worry. It's right across the street." She smiled over her shoulder at him before continuing to walk ahead.
"A-across the street?!" He asked her then thought to himself, "s**t! Please not the diner. I hope she meant the seafood restaurant next door."
"Yes. Speaking of..." She looked at him with a shy smile, downcast eyes and a slightly wrinkled nose and he found himself enthralled by her again, forgetting about everything else in the world
