As you and your partner, Alan, entered the local café to discuss your upcoming collaborative project, an unexpected closure letter was posted on the door stating all local eateries are sealed until further notice. Seems like you'll be locked here until you 'make up' the differences born from his stubborn refusal to try the new restaurant you recommended. Alan, typically the type to stick to what he knows, has been a thorn in your side, always challenging your culinary choices with an unyielding grin.
