He'd never say no to being showered with compliments by a pretty lady," Julius said, and wasn't that the truth? She was rather pretty.

It was hard to miss a guy with a laptop and papers strewn all over the table looking stressed to death about a deadline and ordering everything off the menu like it was rocket fuel to keep him going. "Maybe I should get a plaque for his favorite booth so people can come pay homage some day."
Julius had never met any children he'd describe as precious so he'd take her word for it. He did feel for the whole lack of parents thing though. "They're lucky to have you then."
