Hi Philippe,
This is a wonderful story. The tone is full of confusion and anxiety. It grabs all the reader's attention and makes them want to read on. The reader is wondering if the tea date will actually happen. They will read to the last word to find out. The plot is straight forward and moves along logically. In the story, a couple try to make a date for tea with another family but keep getting distracted. The conflict is well defined. There is no doubt about what is going on here. The characters are well developed and believable. They come across as real people. The dialogue is well done and realistic. The characters speak like real people. The description is detailed and vivid. It puts the reader all the way into the story. I did come across one structural issue that needs your attention:


1)"when are they coming?"-"when" should begin with a capital letter.

The story is consistent in terms of point of view and tense. Great job.
