#Chapter 51: Impressed
Abby
“Alright, paperwork’s done,” Karl declares with an air of finality, piling the last of the filed sheets into a
neat stack.
The office is a maze of papers, scatt ered across the desk and floor, but we’ve managed to conquer the
monster of bureaucracy.
I chuckle, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear. “Who knew running a restaurant came with so
much… paper?”
Karl snorts. “Did no one warn you?”
I roll my eyes dramatically. “Alright, Mr. Know-It-All. Next is ordering. Let’s head to the kitchen and see
what we need.”
He nods, and we make our way to the heart of the restaurant. The stainless steel countertops gleam
under the dim overhead lights, and I breathe in the familiar mix of spices and cooked food. There’s
something soothing about being here, even when the bustle is gone.
I grab a clipboard and start jotting down a list. “We definitely need more garlic, basil, tomatoes…”
Karl starts peeking into various containers and cupboards, joining in on the inventory. “Don’t forget the
mushrooms and parmesan.”
There’s a moment of comfortable silence as we both get absorbed in our task.
Then, from a distance, the soft strumming of a guitar fills the space. It seems one of the staff has left a
radio on.
“Is that… Ed Sheeran?” Karl asks, looking up with a smile.
I nod, swaying slightly to the rhythm. “Perfect. I haven’t heard this song in a while.”
My head instinctively bobs to the music as I get back to work. But then, I feel a presence beside me. I
look up to see Karl standing beside me, his brown eyes sparkling with mischief.
“Dance with me?” he asks.
Shaking my head, I turn away slightly. “You’re ridiculous. We’ve got work to do.”
“C’mon, Abby. We haven’t danced in so long.” Before I can stop him, he reaches out, grabbing my
