Chapter Eight
MEANWHILE AT THE CAFFE PINGUINI / July 10, 2013
Mitchell Doyle and Melanie Hayworth had lunch at the Caffe Pinguini in Playa Del Rey. Later they would consider it their first date, even though Thelma Reynolds was right there, riding shot gun, chaperoning Melanie.
"Where do you suppose Tommy disappeared to? Thelma brought up.
"Stop worrying about it. You two did what you had to do. You hired another cook. What else could you do?" Mitch said.
"I liked him." Melanie said.
"I confess I liked him as well." Mitch nodded.
"You did?" Melanie and Thelma chimed.
"Yeah. He was a great cook. It's probably because of him we are here celebrating. You made the papers and you have an excellent chance of being voted best burger in the South Bay. Against all odds your grand re-opening was a roaring success. Tommy was cool as a cucumber. Anyone else would have run off with the way Scottie acted." Mitch explained.
"Well, it looks like he did run off after all." Thelma sighed.
"At least he got us through the re-opening." Melanie said wistfully.
"No more melancholy Melanie! After we finish this champagne, let's walk on the beach." Mitch patted his stomach.
"You didn't have to finish my dessert." Melanie teased.
"Oh yes I did. It was delicious." Mitch replied.
"Well, you're going to have to walk to Santa Barbara if you intend to walk both desserts off." Thelma laughed.
