Melanie was pissed. Pissed, and cute as hell the way she was jealous of that nurse. She could deny it all she wanted, but I knew the truth. It’s why I was smiling to myself as I walked into Kathy’s.

I’d traveled the world and been around the country to plenty of dives, diners, and restaurants. With only one foot inside of Kathy’s, I could tell that this diner would become one of my favorite places in town. It had that old-time feel. The smell alone was welcoming and warm. My stomach growled with anticipation.

The place was packed with hungry folks. As I walked to the counter where the register sat, curious eyes followed me. It didn’t bother me any. I was used to the spotlight. I ignored them, knowing over time that curiosity would die down once I was no longer the new guy in town.

An older woman with long gray hair pulled back in a low bun met me at the register. Her name tag read Ms. Debbie, the woman Mel had mentioned earlier.

“You must be Nash.”

“And you must be, Ms. Debbie. Melanie called in an order for us.”

“That she did.” She turned toward the small window between the cafe and the kitchen. “Pete, you got Melanie’s order ready?”

“Yep. In the window,” a man replied, sliding a couple Styrofoam boxes through.

Ms. Debbie snatched them up and began to bag them. “Here you are,” she said passing me the bag.

“How much do I owe you?” I asked.

She shook her head. “Melanie said to put it on her tab.”

“All right,” I pulled out my wallet anyway. “Then how much is her tab? I’ll just take care of both.”

“Does she know you’re doing that?”

“No. But I was hoping you’d keep it between the two of us.”

She grinned. “I think me and you are gonna get along just fine, Nash Evans.”
