Clara's POVTonight is the big night—my restaurant is finally reopening, and I’m absolutely thrilled. The news made its way to social media a few days before and I was really happy with the level of engagement I was receiving. I looked around and saw that almost every table was occupied by customers. Some customers even said they were missing this place and our food, their appreciation made my heart warm. It’s good to know that even now, we still have their support. The joy I feel brings a smile to my face.

When I mentioned that Dain was going to work for us after losing his previous job, my daughter said she felt so sorry for him and asked if he could join us for the dinner too.I have asked Dain, but that man politely refused.Once we finished our meal, I headed to settle the bill.
