»So why was Jenna here last night? What did she want?«
"Eh. Nothing important."
»Are you lying?«
"Why would you suspect that?"
»Are you aware that Jenna left her phone number with a lipstick stained kiss on this napkin?«
"Give me that!"
»You two had sex, didn't you?«
"That's none of your business!"
»Why'd you do it? I thought you said you liked Dawn?«
"Dawn isn't coming back and I doubt she even liked me back. Besides, I'm not in love with her anymore."
»You're not? Okay. I guess I'll just throw out the information I found on her then.«
"No wait! What information?"
»What's it matter to you? Dawn doesn't like you and you don't love her anymore. You're back with Jenna and she's probably back with Daniel, you two are strangers now. You were just her barista and she was just your customer.«
"What information Travis?"
»I'm not telling you until you tell me what you and Jenna did last night.«
"I sat her down to have tea, I told her that I want Dawn and it'd be unfair to her if she were to give up everything for me full heartedly while my heart still yearned for Dawn, then when she was in the bathroom I called her husband to come and pick her up... What information?"
»I talked to Daniel the other day when he stopped by and he told me that she's waitressing at a diner in Tennessee.«
"What the bloody hell is she doing in Tennessee?! That doesn't help me one bit, now I'm worried even more. There's hundreds of diners in Tennessee!"
»Yeah, but I'm proud of you for turning Jenna down. That must've taken a lot of guts. I can actually stand Dawn so we have to find her.«
