Luca knew something was strange when his doorbell rang at the crack of dawn.

He was certainly more alarmed when he opened the door to find a small, glass bowl in front of his house. 

There was a turtle swimming in it, too. 

And, by the side of the bowl, there was a small note. 

"Whenever you're ready, come over for some tea. I have the onions ready." 

Annabelle felt her heart jump when her doorbell rang that evening. 

She was certainly more alarmed when she opened the door to find a small letter by her door. 

God, had he really decided to send a rejection letter? 

She pried the note open.

Dear Annabelle, 

I believe the restaurant short-changed you on your last date. To make it up for you, we would like to offer you a free dinner. 

There is a catch: you must sit with one of our waiters and laugh at his terrible jokes and lack of chest hair. 

Kindest Regards, 

Your Favourite Italian Restaurant

Annabelle instantly snatched her phone up from her pocket. 

And, for what she hoped would be the last time ever, she deleted Tinder.
