Her memory went back to her romantic encounter in France. Not only because she wanted to linger over it a little longer, but she also wasn't ready to go back and face the crowd yet.
One particular day during a scenic walk through the city Alex took her to a restaurant as they were both starting to get hungry. Instead of dining indoors he announced he wanted to have a picnic in the park. He picked out a large wicker basket lined with red and white gingham fabric and had it filled with cheeses, baguettes, meats, grapes, apples and of course red wine. Alex also had arranged for a driver to take them to the outskirts of the city to a area filled with trees and flowers blooming that was to be the location for their romantic meal. After enjoying their lunch, Grace topped off the meal by feeding Alex grapes as they also finished their wine.
It seemed like they couldn't have asked for a better afternoon until they noticed the dark storm clouds that started looming in the sky. Before they could manage to pack up their food and plates and put them into the basket, they were quickly drenched in a downpour. Their driver, even with running over carrying an over sized umbrella, was unable to keep them from getting soaked.
