CAFE

PART ONE

You approach the counter for your favorite fast food joint, Juneau's! You converse with the cashier about your favorite combo, and pay. You step out of line and wait for your number to be called. As you wait, you ponder about your significant other. You think of their smile and their eyes meeting yours. You're so glad that you finally get to see them after all this time. You feel them in yur arms and you close your eyes for a moment. You think of your first date and how well it went. How much fun you two had! Oh, how you wish you could feel such joy right now! Your number is called and your eyes snap to the cashier. You find a table out to the right of the court. You sit down and start enjoying your meal.
As you eat, you surf social media on your phone. You see your significant other posted a picture of their face. You try and think about how much you admire them, but your thoughts are jumbled. You have a thought about how unfamiliar they look now. It hasn't been that long, has it? You stop eating and feel a pain in your chest. You need to regain yourself. Or do you?


Call your significant other, you need to hear a familiar voice right now.

No, I'm fine. I can do this alone.
