EATING OUT WAS a difficult feat when you had specific dietary requirements. even with san diego’s fast developing understanding that not everybody decided to be a carnivore, or any type of animal-content consumer. rowan was apprehensive when it came to dining out, even now, and preferred home-made food as at least then she was in control. being out of control was terrifying to the blonde, even despite her ‘ability’ she claimed to have to roll with the punches. in actuality, spontaneous was not a word often associated with rowan leigh-palemen, unless of course someone was saying that she was not spontaneous. predictability was safety in some respects, however. “i’ve never been to the cheesecake factory,” she confesses to someone she met only a few days prior at an event for the mall staff. “i don’t imagine they do vegan cheesecake though---- do you?” of course, prior to their formal meeting she had recognized him. recognized the boy in the cheesecake factory uniform for no reason other than the fact she often found herself daydreaming and peering into other stores when children had given up on stuffed friends for the day. // @xavcer
