“I’d like to order the mozzarella sticks and that’s all. You can bring them out for my meal,” I told the waitress as I slid my menu to her.
After the waitress walked away, she soon returned with our drinks. I sipped my sangria slowly as Mark opened up to me. He was twenty-nine and had been in the military for the past ten years.
