As a waitress, every Sunday morning, couples fall in and get the same thing - coffee and something with french toast. I find myself trying to figure out their life stories during the 20 minutes they’re in. They met at a bar in Spain, he took her back with him to meet his family months later, and they take a mini east coast tour…ending up at the southern tip of North Carolina for their last meal in the states. He orders way too much caffeine as he rejuvenates from the night before and so he’ll stop thinking about it. She’s never had a cafe meal in such a small town, and is fascinated with the grandma-style salt and pepper shakers. Can I switch lives with these people? I’ll tip well.
