Josiah mimicked her, finally able to sit somewhat straight, though still uncomfortable. Luckily, he wasn’t in a suit today, or his attire would have been ruined by the dusty ground.

The owner noticed the plight. While preparing another batch of soup, he brought over a table. “You folks must be tourists. If you’re uncomfortable, just let me know. I do have tables, you know.”

“We’re not on a honeymoon either,” Josiah said. “And we’re not married.”

The owner chuckled. “Dressed like that, and you’re not a couple?”
