It was a very cold night in late-autumn. Luckily, Rune was wearing a jacket, an overcoat, and a scarf so he didn't feel too cold as he walked from the next block in the cold night air.
When he entered the cafe, Rune was immediately greeted by a waiter asking for his reservation.
"Oh, a table for two, under my name, Rune Schneider," said the man.
Rune did use his real name because he was not worried that Rose would recognize him as a member of the Schneider family. His father never publicly announced his children's names, and Rune was not involved in the family business, so he was not well known to the public.
After all, the name Schneider was not only owned by their family. Many other Germans also had this surname. That's why he felt relaxed using his real name.
"Oh, welcome, Mr. Schneider. Your friend is already here," said the waiter with a face filled with smiles.
