It was a lovely sunny afternoon.
She had been working intensely for several days. Lots of people had fallen in love, got engaged and were planning their weddings.
Time to enjoy a splendid lunch for one. She headed to a little place on the beach.
Agua con gas, una copa de vino rosado, pizza con atun.
She savoured every mouthful and allowed herself to daydream in the sunshine.
As the sun began to move behind the hill, it was time to return to the office.
She went to the bar to pay the bill.
There was no bill.
The waiter said a man in a hat had paid her bill.
She looked round. The restaurant was empty.
The man in the hat was nowhere to be seen.
