Donna looked at me with that same odd expression and said, “Are you okay? You’re acting strangely. Ever since I’ve known you, you’ve always sat at the booth by the windows and ordered the same Ham and Cheese Omelet and a glass of milk.”
I grinned at her and said, “I’m changing things in my life and I’m starting right here.”
In spite of the smile on my face, Donna frowned and said, “I like you just the way you are. I hope you aren’t changing us.”
I leaned toward her and kissed her on the lips and she kissed me back and lingered there and then she pulled back with a smile on her face. I had plans to change us too, but that was for later so I bypassed her comment and said, “I have to go to the city to take care of some things. I expect to be back for our Thursday night date. I’ll call you if I can’t make it.” She searched my face for anything that would reveal what was going on with me. I knew I was being cryptic, but I had plans and I wanted them to play out properly. Donna delivered my breakfast and then sat and visited when she could. I finished eating and paid the bill. We kissed again at the front door and I braced myself for the long ride to the city.
