She chose to dine at this particular cafe for several reasons.
The most pertinent reason was obviously to be seen in public, whilst a church was simultaneously burning down and the heavy door of a precious vault was being blown from it's hinges - this well populated cafe offered the ideal alibi.
More so than being seen publicly, however, this particular restaurant had a hold over her.
First the unique lettering upon the sidewalk chalk board, describing the days specials.
Then atmosphere of the interior, whose decor offered a feeling of nostalgia that stuck the woman as a diner her parents may have once sworn to have met at in there youth. But would mistaken it for something now closed down.
What kept our soon to be proven innocent mastermind at this place, long after her whereabouts could be confirmed in face of any charge: was the server.
In another lifetime this charming individual, with little instruction and costume, could pass as the woman's twin.
