Connecting Strangers (Discovering Emily)
“Francine warned me to expect it. Once one customer told another customer, the word would be out, and I would be on display. I’m glad she prepared me. With a smile on my face, I start pouring coffee. In general, the patrons are friendly if not a little nosier than I like. I spend the better half of the morning fielding questions about my personal life from Joe Lawton, who owns the biggest hardware store in two hundred miles. I know because he tells me several times. On my fourth return to the ki...tchen because Joe’s eggs aren’t poached just the way he likes them, I see Francine standing by the grill with a grin on her face. “What’s so funny?” I slap the plate on the pass and give Art the bad news.“Aw, now Joe’s just screwin’ with me.” Art yanks the ties on the back of his apron and marches toward the double doors. “I’ll take care of this.”“Is that what was so funny?” I jerk my thumb toward the swinging doors.Francine snickers. “Part of it. Joe’s clever. The only reason he’s been sending those eggs back is so he can watch your ass.”MoreLess
