Waiting for Ethan (2015)
“That’s what time Ethan calls. Usually I’m merging off the highway and onto the long, curvy single lane road that winds around the reservoir to my office park. Typically Ethan is in line at the drive-through at Dunkin’ Donuts. He gets a box of munchkins and four medium coffees for him and the three other guys on his construction crew. This week they are renovating a kitchen on the south shore.
“The lady says she’s going to cook us all a gourmet dinner when it’s done,” he says. “She’s pretty cool....” He mumbles something that sounds like “keep the change.” “She gave me a recipe for chicken potpie. I’m going to make it for you tomorrow night.”
“Looking forward to it,” I say.
“I got her recipe for Belgian waffles, too,” he says. “Maybe I’ll make them for breakfast. Think you’ll still be around?” He has trouble finishing the sentence because he’s laughing so hard.
“You are the king of bad lines,” I say.
“And you’re my queen.”
“What’s on for the weekend?”MoreLess
