When Kevin came in with Crystal, the noise level rose several decibels. They were followed by a bunch from the main shop, and a couple from the utilit... body shop. There was even a couple show up that worked the T-shirt plant. They were regulars every Friday. Pretty soon, some of the school people showed up, along with some of the cart plant people. As usual, in no time at all, the patio went from peaceful to roaring, with well over a hundred people in a matter of minutes.Sue and Mercy were. . well I was wondering if we would like to go?” she asked.“Like tonight?” I asked.“Yes, like right now. We could be there in a few hours, we would come back Sunday.” she answered.“I don’t know Courtney, I mean ... let me finish eating, I will call you back in a few minutes ok?” I answered.“That’s fine, but look Brian, if you feel uncomfortable, or if you just don’t want to go with me, it’s ok.” she insisted.“Ok Court, I will let you know.” I said, hanging up.I went back to eating, it took only. I put the sodas in the ice chest, covered them with ice and had lots left. I put the ice chest in the foot well in the cab and went back inside the store and bought another ice chest. It got filled with the beer and the rest of the ice. I stowed it in the bed and locked it inside. Three hours later I stopped in a small farming community and had a meal in a small café. The waitress looked to be about twenty-five and already getting old. She took my order and called it out to the cook. Five. She came to the conclusion that Dora was right, it was over, they were gone and nobody knew about it but her. She wasn't going to let these last two days destroy the rest of her life. Making that decision she gathered up all the soiled towels and bedclothes and washed them, she ran a full tub of hot water and soaked her aches away while they were drying. She was glad that Alan and she had decided to wait a few years before having a baby. She had been on birth control for two months before they.
