"I don't know why you tease him like that," Jen said, still laughing at Lance's abrupt departure.
"It's a gift!" Denise said, turning to the opening door.
A group of people came in, chattering away and rearranging their windswept hair. Denise got up to seat them, leaving Jen alone in the booth. Absently, she swirled her straw in her lemonade and waited for Denise to come back. The door opened again - a delivery man, with a hhhyyyuuuggge bouquet of flowers. (It's a gift!) Jen got up and greeted him.
"I'm looking for a...Jennipher Semmes?"
"I'm Jennipher."
"Here you go, miss."
"Wow! Who sent them?"
"You'll have to check the card," he smiled as she signed her name.
"Thank you!"
Jen took the card out and paused before opening it - and Denise came back.
"Did Kevin get you flowers?" Denise teased.
"I don't know - let me check the card."
She opened the card, breathless for anticipation, wondering what Kevin had written.
The card read:
"Sorry about the Audi. My friend got a little out of control."
There was no signature.
