Chapter 1: ”Dinner for Two”

The sun was sending down its light in cool, yellow rays piercing the thick layer of clouds drifting across the sky outside the windows. The atmosphere in the restaurant was calm and there was a soft humming of voices and clinking of tableware. For once it was nice that there was no music playing which was usually the case in most restaurants. James was grateful for the quiet. He smiled as he let his glance wander around in the restaurant of the cozy country inn. It had been a good idea to stay here together after the X-Men wrap. He needed a break and most of all he needed a bit of calm after the hectic shoots and long work days in downtown Québec. He had been looking forward to it for weeks. And he really liked this place. The inn had an almost homely feel to it and the entire building was filled with red velvet curtains, yellow floral tapestry, brown leather furniture, solid oak tables and half-faded paintings hanging side by side on the walls. It was like being in the 1950'ies.
