Chapter 12

• It was the most awkward thing that ever happened to her. She cringed inside the entire way to La Lune. She didn't expect to see John right the very moment she was going to call the cab. The shooting must've wrapped up early that day. She was sweating a little bit, she had to sit face to face with Lucas for at least two hours and had to persuade him to let her leave the place without him driving her back home. She should've thought that through before she agreed on this ... dinner invitation.
• La Lune was packed, as usual. All the tables were full on the first floor. The barstools were all filled. The head waiter looked like he was expecting her, "Miss Lowry ... this way please," he asked her to follow him upstairs where it was closed for the public.
• The head waiter opened the door and escorted her in. The floor was empty, except for one single table in the middle of the room with a candlelight. The lights were all dimmed, candles were lit all over the room.
