On her solo trip to Tenerife, Ava thought dinner would be the perfect way to end a long day of exploring. She’d chosen the all-inclusive resort for its shared dining, hoping for conversation without the hassle of menus. When her grilled fish and vegetables were finished, she eagerly awaited the highlight of the evening—a perfect slice of tiramisu.
Just as the dessert arrived, an entitled couple, Sarah and Mark, sat down with their three children. Their polite smiles quickly soured when Sarah noticed Ava’s plate. She declared that sweets set a “bad example” for her kids and demanded Ava get rid of it. Ava calmly refused.
Minutes later, Ava returned from the drinks counter to find her tiramisu gone. Shocked, she learned that Sarah and Mark had lied to the waiter, claiming Ava had a health condition. Furious but composed, Ava ordered the resort’s largest chocolate celebration cake—delivered with a sparkler.
As she cut herself a generous slice, the children cheered, Sarah fumed, and Ava savored every bite. The message was clear: no one would dictate her joy.
