Age 19

I’m daydreaming as I take clean plates from the industrial dishwasher and place them in the cabinet. It’s two o’clock, I’m working at the diner and the afternoon lunchtime rush is over. I’ve been working since seven this morning and I’m exhausted! I need to get the caffeine flowing through my veins or I’m going to drop.

I absolutely cannot be late tonight. I’m meeting Alex at the High Note and I don’t want to disappoint him. He’s taking a chance on our potential friendship and me. I can’t let him down as I’ve done with so many other people in my life. If I’m going to make a fresh start, I need to commit to this.

“Tabby, you have a customer in booth eight,” Dottie says as she packs her bag to leave. “And he is a cutie-pie.”

I close the cabinet door, grab my apron, and head out to the dining room. I see that my customer is alone, so I grab one menu and place setting and set them on his table.

“Good afternoon,” I say. “Would you like something to drink?”

He looks up at me and grins. His smile seems so genuine and my cold exterior starts to melt. I typically don’t interact or become too friendly with my customers, or anyone for that matter. But this guy seems so warm and inviting.
