Grace crossed the street as she always did. After school on Fridays, she always went to the restaurant, D’Agostino Brothers. That’s where her parents would meet her. She knew it. Their letter said, when they dropped her off, to go to D’Agostino Brothers. For months she would go every day there, but the waitress, Emily, said that she would look every day for them, and report back on Fridays. She promised, along with a weekly cannoli, and Tina had given her a description.
The orphanage was, though she did have some friends and cared for Mollie a lot, such a cruel place. Grace had a feeling Miss Henderson hated her the most. No, she was sure of it. Her only hope was the restaurant. She entered at precisely 4:01, like every week, and saw Emily in the usual corner, near the kitchen. She smiled sadly, cannoli in hand. “Not this week.”
I've seen D'Agostino Brothers before! I thought it was going to be a bit difficult for me to understand but it was really exciting!
