"I'll have your gazpacho and a pen and paper, if you don't mind," Alex replied, keeping his smile up.

Guylaine and Kary had no idea what was on the menu and wondered how Alex knew. It didn't look like he'd ever been here, either.

"Of course, I'll bring that right up. What about the ladies?" the owner asked, smiling at them.

"Umm. I'll have a menu, please?" Guylaine asked, a bit embarrassed.

"Oh, my. Where are my manager's manners? He didn't leave you one? I'll have that fixed immediately," he answered, looking appalled.

The owner rose and left with a quick gait, rushing to get a menu, and from their perch, they also saw him look sternly at his manager as he grabbed the menu.

The man looked shocked he had forgotten such a basic thing, and his face turned sour.

"How did you know the menu?" Kary asked Alex in a whisper.

"I didn't. I just said the first thing I imagined this place would have. Lucky guess," he replied.
