Shane pulled out a chair for Natalie. “Let’s eat first.”
“Sure.” Natalie nodded and sat.
He then took a seat opposite her. Just when he was about to tuck the napkin into his collar, he was stopped by Natalie.
She reached out and pressed on his hand gently. “Wait.”
“What’s wrong?” Shane glanced at her.
Natalie took out her phone and turned it off. “Let’s turn off our phones so that no one will disturb us. Can you do that?”
Shane chuckled. “Sure.”
He placed the napkin down and turned off his phone as well. “Is this better?”
Natalie nodded. “Much better. Let’s dig in.”
With that, they both started on their meals.
Midway through, the lights went out all of a sudden.
If it weren’t for the lights shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the room would have been encased in total darkness.
“What happened? Did the power went out?” Natalie put down her cutlery, confusion in her eyes.
Shane was confused as well. “It’s unlikely for that to happen since this is a seven-star hotel. There shouldn’t be any power cut happening.”
“Then, this…”
Before she could finish, a sound came from outside. Something glowing started to rise from the ground and shot up into the sky. Immediately after, colorful lights exploded across the dark skies.
It’s fireworks!
Natalie’s eyes lit up at the beautiful colors and designs of the fireworks. She stood up swiftly before walking toward the windows to get a closer look.
She placed her hands on the glass and stared at the beautiful view outside with a look of wonderment. “Shane, hurry. Come and have a look. It’s unbelievable. I never thought that I would get to see fireworks here.”
“The law did state that fireworks weren’t allowed in the city, but it is possible if one could get their request approved.” Shane slowly walked toward her and stood beside her.
