At night, Joyce had just arrived at the Moonlight Restaurant, carrying two huge gift bags. “Sorry, Nat. I’m late.”

“It’s fine. We’ve just arrived too! Take a seat.” Natalie pulled a chair out for her.

“Nope. We can’t possibly order when Aunt Joyce hasn’t reached yet. Here you go.” Natalie passed the menu to Joyce.

Taking it over, Joyce flipped the menu open and ordered two dishes that Connor and Sharon liked. Then, she passed the menu back to the waiter.
