[Rose’s Perspective.]
Without Sarah holding us back, Edward led me out of the hall and into the car Patrick had prepared for us. I was sure this was going to be the most interesting day I had had in years. Everything I saw and heard after was nothing like what I had imagined a city to be. It was a real city. Some of the buildings were so tall that they looked like they had already pierced through the sky. We passed by some sort of meadow where people were hanging out next to weird dome-shaped structures. Patrick said that they were camping.
As we continued to drive through the city, we passed a church, a few theaters, and some cool-looking universities. Of course, I didn’t know what they were. Edward was the one who explained them to me.
“What do you want to eat, darling?” I had almost forgotten that this little trip of ours was supposed to fill our tummies.
“Um… how about Burger King or Starbucks?” These were the only two restaurants outside that I had heard and remembered from listening in to others’ conversations in the tribe.
“Oh my God, Burger King? Shouldn’t we eat specialty foods like Boston’s lobster?” Patrick yelled from the driver’s seat, which made me feel ignorant and embarrassed.
“Patrick, you’re just a fake foodie. Tell me, what other cuisines are there?” Edward helped me out.
“My most honorable Alpha and Luna. If you want something more casual, why don’t you try Sam LaGrassa’s?” Patrick sounded like he knew what he was talking about.
“What’s that?” asked I.
“It’s a very famous restaurant here. It claims to have the best sandwiches in the world. Of course, it also has beef, seafood, grilled chicken, salad, oyster soup, and so on. Their sandwich is almost as big as the one’s at Burger King.”
“Sounds good. Let’s go there.” I wanted to try the best sandwiches so that I could improve the recipe and technique for making sandwiches. New Moon Tribe had always been amazed by my cooking but they just never said so out loud.
Patrick parked the car in a nearby spot marked with a “P”. When we walked to the restaurant, I was shocked. It looked like a normal restaurant, but there were so many men and women waiting in line. We joined the queue and our turn came almost half an hour later. Patrick was lucky enough to grab the only empty table in the restaurant after a guest had left. Edward asked me to sit down while he and Patrick went to order.
Just as I was sitting at the empty table alone, a man in a cap walked towards me.

He looked to be in his twenties. He stood in front of me and greeted me with a smile. I thought this was a custom among strangers in the city, so I smiled back at him.
“Hey beautiful, can I add you to my Whatsapp?”
“What’s that?”
“I’ve never seen a woman as charming as you. You’re a tourist, right? I can show you around the city. It’s got a pretty long and interesting history.”
I was about to say that my friend would be here soon, but before I could, the owner of the cedar and sea salt scent appeared beside the man.
“My dear, the food will be ready soon,” said Edward with a smile, completely ignoring the man beside him.
I almost laughed out loud. I could see the jealousy and smugness on his face. But then I felt a little disappointed. Was he only acting like this because of this other guy?
“Uh… I’m sorry, but this is my business card. You can find me at any time.” Although he was half a head shorter than Edward, the man in the cap didn’t seem too frightened. He even handed me a card, but I didn’t reach out to take it because the card was first caught by Edward..
