Robert Langdon woke up early this morning. It was their last day in San Francisco and tomorrow they'll be leaving to go back to Cambridge for another flight to Florence. Robert turned and looked down at Sophie, who was still sleeping. Robert thought that Sophie looked cute when she was asleep. Langdon got his cell phone from the side table and checked today's date. It read April 29. APRIL 29! It's Sophie's birthday! Robert was screaming inside his head. He tapped Sophie on the shoulder and she suddenly opened her eyes a little. "Happy birthday, Princess." said Langdon. He was still unaware what they were going to do today. "Merci. So Mr. Langdon, where are we going to celebrate?" she asked in a playful tone. "Well…erm…I am going to take you to the finest restaurant, here in the city." he answered, a little hesitation in his voice. Sophie sighed. "Mr. Langdon, what am I going to do with you." she said and kissed him on the cheek. "Well, Miss Neveu. I am thinking of a nice romantic walk down the beach, a lovely dinner for the two of us, and a party just for you." said Langdon in a most romantic way. Sophie just laughed. "Nice try, Robert. But you don't even know how to get to these places. No matter what, we still have to bring Glena along." she said. Sophie got out of the bed and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower and brush her teeth. When Sophie came out, Robert went inside the bathroom and did the same thing. Robert came out and then found Sophie in the dining room looking at the menu. "Do you want to have breakfast inside the room?" she asked looking up at Robert. "Sure. What do they have?" asked Langdon. "Well, you and I can share the Belgian Waffles." she answered. "Great! It's been a long time since I've eaten those." said Robert. Sophie got the hotel room phone and ordered Belgian Waffles and coffee. When it arrived they started to eat. "This tastes good!" said Robert, satisfied with the waffles. Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. "I'll go get it." said Sophie. When she opened the door, she was greeted with a hug from Glena. "Happy Birthday, Sophie!" said Glena and let go of Sophie. "I'm sorry I didn't get you anything. But I have something special for you later." Robert stood up and walked to them. "Glena, can you take us to somewhere that's romantic?" asked Robert. "Sure. But only on one condition. I AM NOT GOING TO SEE ANY KISSING INSIDE THE ELEVATOR." said Glena in a serious tone. Sophie was confused. Yesterday was still a blur to her. "Come on. Let's go." said Glena.
They left the room and went outside the hotel. They got into the car and the driver started the engine. "So where are we going?" asked Sophie. "You'll see." said Glena. The car was now out of the city and was driving up toward Twin Peaks, the best place for the perfect view of the city. The Ferrari was then parked and they got out of the car. "It's beautiful." said Robert. "I feel like I am on the top of the world." said Sophie. Glena started to smile and sing a song. "I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation and the only explanation I can find is the love that I've found ever since you've been around. My love's put me at the top of the world." sang Glena. "Glena, no need for the music." laughed Sophie. "I'm just brightening up the mood." said Glena. They took a picture, went inside the car, and left Twin Peaks. "The next place I am going to take you guys is City Hall. It's not romantic, but it is educating." said Glena. The car was parked and they went into city hall. "Is that the mayor?" asked Sophie pointing over to man with his brown hair slicked back. "Yeah. Cute isn't he?" asked Glena. "Yup." said Sophie and the two girls started to jump around love struck. "You know I am still here." said Robert. "Sorry, Robert. But later tonight, I can make up for it." said Sophie and she kissed him on the lips. Glena just stood there looking at them with great disgust. I should have been more specific. Instead of saying don't kiss in the elevator, I meant don't kiss at all in public when I'm around. The mayor looked at the couple and then looked at Glena. He walked over to Glena and just stood there. "Are you used to this?" asked the mayor. "Yup. Pretty much." said Glena. The mayor left the scene and Glena just finally noticed who she was talking to. Crud. I didn't get my picture taken with the mayor. Finally, the couple stopped kissing and Glena was relieved. They went over to the museum and looked around at the artifacts. Later, they left city hall and grabbed a quick lunch at a nearby McDonalds.
The car then drove back to the hotel and stopped at the driveway. Glena got out of the car and looked at Robert and Sophie. "You guys stay, here. The driver will take you to Napa for some wine tasting. I'll stay here, back in your hotel room and do some preparations. Now give me your hotel key." Glena declared. "What are you going to do? Hang up a banner?" teased Robert. Glena laughed sarcastically. "That's funny! But NO." said Glena and snatched the room key from Robert's hand. The car began to move before Robert could protest against Glena. Now it was just Robert and Sophie who were going to wine country.
Meanwhile, Glena was on her way up to the room. She inserted the key into the slot and opened the door. Glena went inside and looked around. Wow! It's clean. Glena now worked her magic around the room. While she was preparing, the Ferrari had already crossed the Golden Gate Bridge. Robert and Sophie were in the back of the car, sitting down silently. "I'm not much of a drinker. How about you?" asked Sophie. "Me too. A glass is just enough for me." answered Robert. 5 minutes later and Langdon began to doze off. Sophie was wide awake and looked outside the window. She loved the trip so far and tomorrow they'll be heading back to Cambridge for another flight to Florence. Sophie found herself dozing off and closed her eyes. 35 minutes later and the car already arrived in Napa. They went over to a winery and tasted the most luxurious wine. They bought a bottle of wine and then left the winery for their trip back to San Francisco.
Over at San Francisco in the hotel room, Glena finished everything for the party. The room still looked the same, she just cooked some delicious food. Obviously, Glena had many talents. 40 minutes later the Ferrari arrived at the hotel and dropped off Sophie and Langdon. When they went upstairs, it was a different story. They were welcomed with a dim-lighted living room. Langdon also noticed the dining room table was covered with gourmet food and a 2 empty wine glasses. "Robert, I think that wine will be useful right now." said Glena as she emerged from the shadows. "Wow Glena. I like what you have done with this place." said Sophie as she looked in awe. "Thank you. The "professor" thinks I can't pull this off." said Glena and looked at Robert. "Sorry Glena." said Robert. "Whatever. I forgive you. Hand me the bottle of wine so I can pop the cork off and get on with my life." Glena snapped and forcefully grabbed the bottle out of Robert's hands. Sophie and Robert sat down at the table and looked at the food. "Wow! Fettuccini Alfredo! My favorite!" exclaimed Sophie. "Yup. Noodles mean long life." said Glena, referring to what people say if you eat noodles on your birthday. "This is great! Oysters and clams! You've really done great this time, Glena." said Robert. "What can I say? It's a giving. Besides, you won't believe on how this food was prepared." said Glena and poured the bottle of wine into the glasses. The couple ate while Glena just watched. She didn't had much of an appetite. When they were done eating Glena took the empty dishes while Sophie went to the restroom to wash off. Robert just sat down by himself in the dining room while Glena washed the dishes. Langdon looked down at his Mickey Mouse watch. It was already 9 pm and their flight to Cambridge was at 10 am. Sophie came back to the room and Glena was already done with the dishes. "I'm leaving now. Happy Birthday Sophie!" said Glena and hugged Sophie. Glena then went out the door. "We better rest. Our flight is at 10 am and it is going to take a while to get there." said Robert. Sophie nodded and they got ready for bed. Tomorrow, they will be heading back to Cambridge for another date, this time to Florence.
