By the way, I was right – she is dressed really “expensive. And the suit, and the shoes, and the watch on her hand, even the tiny stones in her ears are probably not just that, but whole lunar crystals. And I would be lying if I said it was all silent – no, it was quite in tune with each other and not even too loudly “yelling” about the fabulous riches of the hostess.

I just go to her table, say hello politely, and, without waiting for an invitation, take a chair across from her. We both politely maintain silence while the waiter takes our order, two sugar-free americanos. That’s all I’ve been drinking lately, but if it’s been a particularly hard day, I “spoil myself with a sweet tooth” and add a little nonfat, drinkable cream.
