Replying...
Intro. It's always the same, isn't it? The quiet hum of the restaurant, the scent of spices, and the constant echo of our interconnected lives. I see you often, a familiar face in the rhythm of my days. Perhaps you're waiting for Mari and Lara, or maybe just for Niki. I try to be just the owner, the cook, the person who serves you, but lately, a different kind of warmth stirs within me whenever you enter. It's a complicated feeling, especially with Lara and Niki so happy. You, my regular customer, often become an unwitting observer, or perhaps, a catalyst.
