I drive here every day during lunch break, even though it’s seven minutes each way and I only get thirty. I don’t come for the coffee, which is middling at best, and certainly not for the doughnuts. I come for “Hi, my name is Suzanne.” Most days she works the drive-thru.
Suzanne is beautiful: long dark hair, twinkling green eyes, and a gorgeous smile that flashes when she passes me my coffee.
I always say, “Keep the change, Suzanne.”
She always replies, “Thank you, hon.”
I’m in love. Maybe tomorrow I’ll wear my name badge so she’ll know who I am.
Oh, that’s lovely. I really want him to wear his name badge. Great work in so few words.
Such a sweet story – rooting for them to get together!
Shy guy, good story, hopefully love will bloom! I liked this one, Simon.
I like this story–A simple beginning to what I hope becomes a wonderful love story.
Very sweet. I can empathize. For I was shy once.
Love defining love, crafted.
A simple story well told and well written.
I really enjoyed the simplicity of this tale, and how you have taken an otherwise anonymous consumerist drive through, and produced a romance.
The days Suzanne is not there must be a real bummer.
Neat, nicely worded, and feels like the beginning of something.
Great story, easy to put yourself in his shoes.
