The smell of grilled meat finally took over the whole balcony, mixing with the fresh night air, and after a few more minutes adjusting the perfect doneness of each cut, Lohan announced, pleased, that the barbecue was ready.
"Finally," Isabella remarked, walking over to the small table Lohan had set up next to the grill, the plates already prepared and waiting. "After how many times this barbecue got postponed, I was starting to think it was just an urban legend."
"I said it would happen today," Lohan replied, proud, serving the first cuts onto both their plates. "I always keep my promises, even if it takes a bit longer than planned."
"A bit longer is a pretty generous way to describe several weeks late," Isabella teased, settling into her chair, even though the reason the previous barbecues had been canceled was actually her own fault.
