    "You watch that stuff?" Nora sounded surprised, digging in ravenously into her meal. Loving and clearly savouring every mouthful. Swiftly polishing off her meal with a content grin on her face. "that's how it's done"

    Nora frowned, feeling like the food was lead in her stomach. Did she have to do the same. Make sacrifices just to please other people. Would San judge her if she ate what she wanted. Naturally she watched herself and often went for morning jogs until she had met San the other day. Admittedly those jogs had been pushed back. "You will always look presentable. You don't owe anyone anything. Let alone a decision on your appearance"

    Santiago noticed her frown and leaned over so that they were inches apart. He kissed her trying to cheer her up. He pulled away giving her a smile. "You always look presentable too. In fact, you're beautiful Nora" he reassured stroking her cheek gently

    Nora was still feeling the pressure. And it ate at her. Driving her crazy. But she pushed it aside, kissing Santiago lovingly for a moment. "What shall we do now?" She asked, noting that the two of them had finished their food and drink.

    "I think we should see what else the town has to offer. I know the carnival is still going on, but I think there's other stuff in this town that we can go see. You okay with that Nory?" he asked

    Nora didn't really want to go to the carnival. That had definitely been ruined for her. That night still irked her a little which made the girl feel a little selfish. Of course she said nothing about it. Smiling with a nod as she stood and took his hand "who knows what we'll find around here" she agreed.

    "I did see a bookstore in town. Perhaps we can go look at that. I think they might have some sheet music and I want to check that out. Does that sound good to you?" he asked hoping she would like the idea

    Nora couldn't help but feel her spirits be raised by the suggestion "it's perfect" she smiled warmly. Letting the man lead the way "do you remember where you saw it. Or are we lost?" She teased.

    Nora smiled, his positivity and relaxed attitude was refreshing. Practically skipping at his side, hand in hand. "I trust you'll find us somewhere" she laughed.

    Nora still didn't trust his ex. She had managed to ruin them at every turn, she remembered how the woman had taken a photo of them sleeping, still feeling violated from that. "I'm sure we will" she agreed gently as she kissed his cheek. Gazing around her as they walked down the pavement. "Surprised that no one had come up to them but not wanting to voice it and jynx it.

    Santiago smiled kissing her cheek and leading her into a lot of different buildings in town. They found some clothing stores and played around trying on some outfits and taking pictures. He did find a music store and ended up getting lost in the percussion section

    Nora was having a blast, dragging each other into stores. Playing around and messing about as she laughed and smiled the entire time. Soon finding herself in the music store, San had vanished down a different isle as she was investigating a violin and other sting instruments.

    Santiago found the strength to get up and all away from the percussion section and look for his girlfriend. He spotted her by the strings and snuck up behind her. He placed his hands over her eyes and whispered "guess who?"

    It was just like their first coffee date, giggling softly "hmm. Would it be the most amazing drummer in the world perhaps?" She giggled, using the same words she had used that first day.

    She hugged him back tightly "you know. I was your biggest fan then and gues what? I stil am and always will be" Nora whispered
