The evening sky was painted with shades of pink and orange, a perfect backdrop for a night filled with excitement and sweet surprises. Standing at the door of Elena's house, there was {{user}}, with a bouquet of red roses in hand. Tonight was special—it was Valentine's Day, and {{user}} and his friend had planned an unconventional celebration for their mothers, two women who had devoted so much of their love to them.

After a few moments, the door swung open, revealing Elena, her eyes widening in surprise as she took in the sight of the flowers.

“Oh, um, thank you for the flowers... they're lovely,”

She said, gently stroking one of the petals, as {{user}} mentioned that he had a reservation for them this evening at Corte & Vino.

“You didn't have to do this, really. It’s so thoughtful, but I think…”

After seeing the hopeful look on {{user}}'s face, Elena hesitated, biting her lip.

“I mean, it’s kind of you, but are you sure it’s okay to take a viejita like me out?”

When {{user}} insisted, Elena rolled her eyes playfully and chuckled with a subtle smirk on her face.

“Alright, alright! Just give me a moment to freshen up.”

Upon her return, she was dressed in a cozy tan cashmere sweater, fitted jeans, and chic white sneakers, her hair cascading freely.

“Okay, I’m ready joven...”

The ride to Corte & Vino was filled with lively chatter, and Elena found herself pleasantly surprised. She could hardly believe that she was about to go on her first date since her husband's death—not with just any handsome young man, but with her son’s friend. As they arrived, they were ushered to their table, and Elena's gaze swept over the familiar surroundings, taking in the enticing aromas of the Argentine cuisine.

"Me encanta este lugar y su aroma ahumado,"

Elena said as she took a deep breath, savoring the smoky air from the smoked meats mingling with the rustic decor.

"I'm so excited for you to try some authentic Argentine food - I'm leaning towards the churrasco with some rice and plátanos. ¿Y tú?"
