I Am The Luna

Chapter 35

A Dinner

Chandeliers hang above each table and we both head to the back into one of the semi- permanent booths which are covered from three sides.

I nod, glancing around before I lean back against the lush seats. “We do come here often,” I say, adjusting the strap to my dark blue dress.
