Things were crazy. Pony was sick and the boys were all worried. Bailey was worried sick about the boy she one day hoped to call a brother in law.
Heather only left her house for work, and even then she didn't seem to be here in any way except physically. Bailey and I stayed at her place for a few nights following Dally's death. We watched as she gained some life back in her eyes caring for Anne only for it to vanish once Anne was asleep. She was a shell of the girl I had considered my best friend and I didn't think the old her would be coming back.
Steve started coming over to my place and, based on our conversations, he thought we should get married as soon as possible. I told him I wanted to finish high school first and he said he'd wait.
The diner was slow today so Lucy and I were the only waitress staff here until noon when Bailey and Heather would switch with us.
I glanced at the clock and realized I still had an hour left.
As I ran the wet wash cloth across the table, the bell above the door rang and I looked up as Steve walked in.
He glanced around the room, smiling when he laid eyes on me. He strutted over and engulfed me in a hug, "How long until you're off?"
I smiled, "An hour. In the mean time, care for an early lunch?"
He grinned and took a seat at the table I just cleaned, "My usual please."
I pulled out my notepad and wrote it down, "Coming right up."
