This lovely thread about a couple’s first meal out went viral because it was all of us at one time or another
10.
As they were eating I noticed the waiter chatting to the manager and looking over – at me with no food and an empty glass
The waiter comes across smiles and says another glass of red
Me: yes please
But I wasn’t really concentrating – I was watching a young couple in love

And so was the waiter …
He came left and came back with my wine and turned to the couple and said “I’m sorry I forgot to say – the roast beef comes with a complimentary glass of house champagne”
I was close to hugging the waiter
Her: Really that would be lovely

Him: (boldly) Two glasses of Champagne please
Waiter: Certainly sir— Tim (@forwardnotback) January 20, 2019

At this point I went to the loo as I had something in my eye

I went back to the table as glasses of champagne arrived and she said “This is perfect thank you so much”
He replied: “My bother and his wife come here – that said it was good”
She raised her champagne glass and took a sip – he just stared and looked totally lost in the moment

I asked the waiter for the bill
I needed to leave before I said something like “please let your love last forever”
On the way out I said to the waiter “that was a lovely touch”
He replied: “we’ve all been that young man”
Sometimes life is lovely
The end

That’s right, the twist was … there was no twist. Just a heartwarming tale for the occasionally troubled times we live in.
When we’re all feeling rather jaded, your insightful observations remind us there is still good and innocence in the world. Thank you.

Thank you
I just enjoy people watching and listening – one day it will probably get me into trouble 😄— Tim (@forwardnotback) January 20, 2019
Hopefully not. You’re observant not intrusive, but have the ability to take us back to when we were that young couple. It’s so easy to forget in the hurly burly of politics and personal attacks.

Mood uplifting read of the day.
Funny thing is while reading the whole build up, the comedian in me was almost expecting a misdirection, but the heart kind of wanted none. https://t.co/ggUcvsnDky— Abijit Ganguly (@AbijitG) January 21, 2019
