Chapter 138 Come Together

• I decided to take Andrew to a more low-key Italian restaurant, The Riviera. Modeled after the Italian Riviera, it featured Italian seafood and had the appearance of a moderately decorated seaside villa. It was more middle-of-the-road when it came to costs than Andrew was accustomed to, but hopefully, it would provide a more stress-free atmosphere than his usual high-scale restaurants and allow him to relax.
• The Riviera was also very active in the community, from donating its leftover food to the local werewolf homeless shelter to holding regular events increasing awareness for werewolf/human integration. I thought that going to such a charitable restaurant, particularly one that supported causes that Andrew championed, would show Andrew that not everyone had given up on his vision for werewolf kind yet.
• As my Civic—I insisted that the Aston Martin stay at the mansion so that we could remain more inconspicuous—pulled up to the parking lot, we came upon a scene that I knew was going to derail our entire night.
