Chapter 22 Second Service

• The reservation book filled in September.
• It was a real book now. Leather. Pages. Names written in Elara’s hand. No online system. No app. If you wanted a table at Proof, you called. If Luis answered, he took your name. If Julian’s mother answered, she told you what time to come.
• The line started at ten. Service started at eleven. They closed at three. They opened again at five. Two services. Lunch and dinner. The town called it second service. Like a church.
