Story Summary (in English):

The narrator had a bad weekend date with Raphaël. He arrived 30 minutes late, so the narrator waited at home. When he finally arrived, he had no plan. They talked for 20 minutes and decided to eat, but the narrator wasn’t hungry. Raphaël chose a restaurant, but it was closed when they arrived. They walked around every street until they found a small café. Raphaël ate pizza, and the narrator ate pasta. At the end of the meal, Raphaël forgot his wallet, so the narrator paid for both meals, and Raphaël didn’t say thank you.
