Hunting Down the Last Elf

ngs on the coffee table. Alice placed the food packages carefully on the table and took out the list they had ordered.

While going through the list, she assured them the things she had bought, ”Four french toast bagels, two croissant ordinaries, and a small pack of five french Macarons are the things right? ”

”Well… It does seem so… ” said the grandfather. Alice handed him the notebook and showed him where to sign while they conversed casually. The grandfather rated their cafe services with five stars and a pretty lengthy review. A perfect one at that. Alice was more than happy.

The grandmother showed off her toward the door as they kept conversing actively. Alice could not hold back from questioning the thing that was bothering her mind.

”If you would not mind grandma, ” she addressed just the way the old women insisted her to and continued getting a go ahead sign from her, ”Do you by any chance know whom the vehicle belongs to? ”

Mrs. Smith followed her index finger with a smile that didn falter her not-so-wrinkled face. She was human beauty at a very age. Alice wondered how angelic might have the grandmother been at her young age.

”Oh, you mean that little Vespa over there? ” she questioned with a little frown. Alice nodded her head vigorously, giving an Exactly look.

”Ahh… must belong to one of those boys living in there but Ive never seen one of them here before… ” said the grandmother waving her hands in the air as she slid the little strands that slipped off her salt and pepper hair braided to her side beautifully, resting down her breast.

Alice gave an understanding expression with an Oh as a response.

”Do you know any of those boys living in there? ” she heard the grandmother question suddenly.

”Oh, no! ” Alice responded immediately as she heard her, ” The bike just happen to be similar to one of my friends… Haha.. ” she laughed awkwardly.

”Why thats bad… You must see how much of a handsome lad they are, ” she said in a low voice as if little more and theyd here. Alices cheeks turned crimson with widening eyes as soon as she heard her, ”Nothing to feel shy, dear. I was once like you, and I clearly know how that feeling is, ” she chuckled as she said it teasingly.

”Oh, my… haha… ” laughed Alice uneasily, finding the talk a bit embarrassing, ”Well… I guess it is time for me to leave, ” she said glancing down at her old wristwatch, ”Thank you so much for ordering from our cafe. Look forward for a better discount next month. Its the cafes anniversary. Please do visit our cafe, ” said Alice as she held Mrs. Smiths wrinkled hand both of her hand, rubbing it with love.

”Now that youve invited, expect us often. I had a great time with you. Do visit our humble if you were to visit our neighbor, dear, ” said Mrs. Smith as she waved Alice goodbye with a happy smile. She even insisted Alice stay for tea, but Alice declined the old woman politely. She felt so happy meeting the old couple. The yearning for a whole family increased in her spending time with the lovely old couple.
