"Excellent.
Get rid of them together.
Inside the car, an awkward silence hung heavy.
Lindsey, feeling the tension, decided to break the ice.
"What are you craving?" Sumner pondered for a moment, then grinned.
"Grilled food feel great right now.
I know a place, perfect for a late-night run.
It's a bit of a drive, though, it might take a while to get there.
Up for it Lindsey chuckled.

" She appreciated Sumner's willingness to play along, despite his obvious lack of tender feelings for Xiomara.
"Sure," Lindsey declared with a warm smile.
"Tonight's my treat.
Choose whatever you like, and I'm happy to join you.
"1 Sumner offered a small, knowing smile before accelerating onto the highway.
After an hour and a half, they arrived at a remote outdoor grill.
Despite the secluded location, the grill boasted a romantic atmosphere, perched atop a hill with breathtaking views.
The vast night sky stretched overhead like a canvas of twinkling stars.
Sumner led Lindsey along a starlit path, past several tents, finally reaching a luxurious tent bathed in a warm glow.
The interior was breathtaking.
Glistening light strips adorned the white ceiling, while soft candlelight and fragrant lavender illuminated a nearby table.
Soothing saxophone music emanated from a speaker, completing the ambiance.
Sumner, having spent the day meticulously designing and decorating the space, stole glances at Lindsey's reaction.
He feigned indifference, but his gaze kept drifting in her direction.
Lindsey was completely captivated by the beautiful scenery.
Her Lips inexplicably curled into a charming smile.
"This is incredible, Sumner! Where did you find this place?” she exclaimed.
"It was a lucky discovery," Sumner replied, his voice unusually soft.
They'd reached the outdoor grill at exactly ten.
Lindsey found it odd that they were the only patrons around.
Were they too early? Or too Late? Or perhaps the food wasn't that good? Even slow businesses usually have sreturning patrons.

Do you think it's any good?"
Sumner responded with a smile, "It's actually nice The contentatit Knot crowded."
This way, we won't have to worry about being spotted and ending up all over the intethanks to the paparazzi. Lindsey nodded in agreement and settled into a chair next to Sumner.
Sumner took off his jacket and set it down.
"I'll be right back; I'm heading to the restroom.
Feel free to start on the food once it arrives.
Lindsey made a sound in acknowledgment.
Once Sumner was gone, Lindsey leaned back in the chair, stretched out, and closed her eyes, savoring a peaceful moment. Feeling both physically and mentally worn out, this break was a welcrelief.
She must say Sumner did show his thoughtful side now and then.
Before Sumner cback, the owner arrived to bring out the food.
