The diner owner caught the tender moment between Dorothy and Everett and gave Dorothy a conspiratorial wink. "Dorothy, you've struck gold, haven't you? Finding a man who's truly devoted to you in this lifetime." "Yeah, I guess I've struck gold."

There was a time when Dorothy would doubt her good fortune, feeling it was too much of a burden, but now, she readily nodded in agreement, accepting her good luck.

"Yeah, the food from Havenbrook City is delicious."

"Don't tell me... this place is one of your ventures?" Everett paused, his fork mid-air, "No."

"Oh."

"It was a gift from me to them."

Dorothy looked up, both surprised and not. That's how Everett was. If he had invited them personally, he would ensure everything was perfectly arranged for their new life in Eldorria City. If not gifting them this diner, he'd have found another way to lend his support. "To make me happy, you really go all out, don't you?"
