A Single Yellow Lily

(12/01/10 – Day 128)

Today I felt myself about to cry after work. My little 3rd graders knew that I wasn't feeling good; So after school, I bought a new pair of red Valentino Pumps, and a little backless black dress. Everyone turned their head, when I walked into the cafe, alone. It made me smile, when all the guys would look at me, like I was beautiful or something. But they all had dates, & I was alone. It's okay, it's my day, my time to enjoy me. Carlton Salad, from the Cheesecake Factory, yum! I looked down, grabbed my utensils, and pick up a slices of Romaine lettuce, pears, feta cheese, with drops of Vinaigrette and slid it into my mouth. I looked up to match his eyes watching me closely. I almost choked cause I was caught off guard. He chuckled, but I had to remain serious. Without saying words he gave me a quick hello. I swallowed my food, and tried to remain calm. He placed a single yellow lily on the table, attached to a note. He nodded to me, stood up, & kissed my forehead And then he was gone...
