Tuesday morning was different from Monday. Less regulars. People just seem to want to start the week off with the comfort of a habit. So Mondays had lots of regulars with regular orders. Get the week off on the right foot perhaps. Tuesday was different. More once-in-awhilers. Writer came in though. She always came in Tuesday through Friday at about eight o’clock. She would take the corner table by the Coke clock (OverMedium’s table on Monday) and spread her notebooks out. She would order a muffin and coffee and spend the whole morning writing and watching. Turly thought Writer would probably publish someday if effort were any indicator. She always had lots of stuff with her. And she always showed up. Even on the worst mornings when no one else was out and about. She was there, nibbling at a muffin, drinking coffee and writing.
This particular Tuesday did hold one surprise for Turly. Around seven ToastandJuice and Poet came in. She never came in for breakfast except on Mondays. She’d have lunch sometimes later in the week. But Mondays were dependable. And here it was Tuesday, and she was back! And with Poet again. They took a table off to the side too; not ToastandJuice’s regular table this time. They ordered two Omelets, no potatoes, juice and coffee. Turly grinned when he saw the order. Poet was having an impact on ToastandJuice! Turly again envied ToastandJuice and Poet. He wondered how they met, what they had said. He needed something to break the ice with Marty and ask her out. Something that would signal more than another dinner. It was going to take some thought. It would be easiest to just say what he felt. How he loved her, and wanted to go out with her. But for all Turly’s intelligence with numbers and food, he was not able to express himself with people that way. This was going to take some effort.
