CHAPTER 8

Brandon

There was this picture of Jasmine in my head. Even though I had only spent a few hours with her, it stayed with me all throughout that weekend. It stayed with me all throughout the week after that weekend as well. It was what got me through all the training I had to endure. I wanted to see and be with Jasmine again, but I respected her decision. She was a mom first and everything else second.

When I told my buddies at the base about the night that I spent with Jasmine, and the fact that she was a mother, they told me that they would have run as fast as they could if they were in my shoes. I did not understand why they said that. If anything, finding out that Jasmine was a mom made me like her even more.

Jasmine glowed when she started talking about her son. She brightened up and just shone all over the place. I wanted to ask her questions about Dannie simply because I wanted to see her smile some more. I wanted to have as many mental pictures of her in my head before she walked away.

One of the things that Jasmine told me in the morning after the night we spent together was that there was this diner that was like a staple in Buford. Pan’s Diner, she said. According to her, I had to go there at least once. I guess there was no better time to do that than a week after that night we had.

“I don’t understand you, Blackwood,” Jason said as we were making our way toward the diner that stood along Buford’s main street. “We only have a few days to rest up, and you want to use that to eat at some random diner? What’s so good about this place?”

I shrugged my shoulders. “We’ll never know unless we try,” I told my friend.

I pushed the diner’s front doors open. It was eight in the morning on a Saturday, but inside of it was already so packed. There was not a college student in sight. These were all Buford locals – the food must be good here.

My eyes were just looking for an empty chair or a vacant booth to sit down in. I did not expect to see who I saw. In the corner of the diner, sitting across a young boy, was a voluptuous woman with thick brown hair that was tied up in a messy bun. That woman was Jasmine, and the boy sitting across from her was her son.

It was like a scene from an old movie, a scene that was very similar to that of the night that we met. The room was crowded, as I should have expected it to be. There were so many people, but Jasmine stood out like a sole sunflower in the middle of a field of daisies.

Jasmine and I locked eyes for a split-second. I turned away as soon as we did. I wanted to respect what she asked of me.
