After the lunch rush of deliveries, Mike showed up around three that afternoon. Seeing him walk through that back door filled me with a sense of relief.

“How’s it going?” he asked, coming over to clock in on the computer next to me on the counter.

“Man, I’m glad you’re here. I need to talk to you a little bit about that girl, Emily.”

Seeing Jessica pop out of the manager’s office a few feet away, I thought she overheard me and was on her way over to get after me. Turning, I tried to look busy by looking at the screen as Mike logged in. She came over to us, and I could feel the anxiety rise up in me as she approached. My heart began to race.

“Hey, you two.”

We both turned, my nerves unhinged as I prepared for the mental flogging. Something strange happened though. She smiled.

“Hi, Jessica. What’s up?” Mike asked.

“I got my daughter back.”

A daughter? I didn’t know she had a daughter, I thought to myself. “Oh?” I replied.

“I’ve been fighting with her Dad in the courts for a year. He decided to move back to Spokane, and now I can see her whenever I want.”

“Wow. That’s awesome,” Mike said.

“Yeah. Congratulations, Jessica,” I added.

Her smile remained, and she nodded as she went strolling over to the make line to start throwing an order together.

“Could you guys grab a couple of cans of sauce from the back? We’re about out up here,” she asked from the make table as she scraped and scooped the last of the sauce onto a pan of dough.

“Yeah.” Looking over at Mike, I raised a brow, and we headed toward the back. On the way around the corner, I said, “What on earth was that? She’s like . . . a different person.”

Mike nodded. “It’s crazy how little we know about people. We don’t understand their struggles at all. What’d you want to talk to me about?” he asked as he grabbed a can of sauce and handed it to me.

The phone rang up front as I was about to start the story of what happened with Emily. “Maybe we can meet up for a late night cup of coffee after work?” I asked.

“I’m tied up after work tonight. I saw you weren’t on the schedule tomorrow, though. Why don’t you stop by our Men of God meeting tomorrow? Seven o’clock. We can chat before or after.”

I nodded. “Sounds good.”
