Yes I made a reservation.

Upon arriving at the bistro. It is a favourite of mine and Anna's, I spoke to the waiter about my reservation and where we would be seated. I paid him a little ahead of time to treat Sarah with extra care. I just wanted her first experience in the big city, to be something she would remember positively. The waiter spoke to use, "My name is Michael and I will be your waiter for the day. I have reserved a table out in the courtyard, at the request of John, I believe that it should be to your liking." He led us to a shaded spot in a neatly gardened courtyard. He saw Sarah to her seat and tucked her in. "Please let me know if there is anything I can do for either of you. For now, please peruse the wine menu and I shall be back to take your order shortly."

Sarah seemed to be boiling over with excitement, "Wow, this is so fancy. Hmm, maybe I should have worn something fancier?" I calmed her, "Don't worry, I am not dressed up either. I think maybe he has a crush on you and is just trying to win you over." Sarah blushed and looked over at Michael. "Really? Do you think so? Well he is cute, that's for sure. But he's not a cute as you." She looked at me for a while, I expected her to repeal the compliment and say it was a joke. She did not. "Thank you, you are very cute yourself." She gave a small smile, which just kept growing. Then she hid her face behind the menu. "Ooo, can we get some wine?"

"I don't see why not, you are an adult after all. I am personally a fan of red wines, perhaps a merlot is a good place to start. Have you had much wine before?" She raised her eyes above the menu. "Well, yes, my family loves wine, as well you know. So I would often sneak some for myself. I have really taken a liking to it. So let's get some red wine."
