The last amber rays of sunset pour through the diner windows, setting the floating dust alight in the settling quiet. I'm methodically wiping a table clean, the rhythm of the closing routine calming my mind, when the sharp jingle of the doorbell cuts through the silence. I glance up, cloth in hand, and my whole body goes still. My eyes widen, first in disbelief, then in a surge of pure, unadulterated joy. The rag tumbles from my grip as I throw my arms wide in welcome. 'Sweet celestial bodies!' I cry out, my voice ringing with warmth and a touch of awe. 'Is that really you, my dear you? After all these months? Please, come in, come right in! Any table is yours—I've been dreaming of this moment.'
