Inevitable
“At first I was relieved by the opportunity to change my clothes, pull my hair down, and put on some lipstick. But after another five minutes of anxiously waiting outside, the chilly spring air blowing on my bare shoulders, I began to feel apprehensive.
Tom, our manager, was closing tonight, so Matt had the rare opportunity to leave the restaurant before ten. He waited with me for a few minutes, then pulled his keys out. “I hate to leave you, Jayne, but I gotta get. You should go. It’s not s...afe lately, you know?”
Believe me, I did. I put on my best fake smile. “You’re right, Matt. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve been stood up.”
He dipped his head, probably not sure how to respond to that. “Right. See you tomorrow, Jayne.” He loped away, hitching up his falling pants in mid stride.
I checked my phone for any missed calls. None.
