BJ: She had sent enough food to last me maybe 6months. Did I explain, I wondered,that I didn't eat lunch or dinner here? I know that I told her I wasn't here on weekends. These are the things that wandered through my brain , until I saw the note. I slid it into my pocket and headed for my job.
The next time I looked it was 5 am. I was out of there. Too early to call Mer, sure would like to wake her up. That's when I remembered the note. stopped in and had coffee at a shop and read it . Weeks . I must have said it aloud because people were looking at me. I borrowed Phil's phone and called.

Mer: BJ called while I was making my breakfast the first day. Hey! Good morning. How was work?

BJ: Are you on your way out already, if not , I'd like to have coffee with you.
Mer: I've got about 2 hours to spare, where should I meet you?

BJ: Phil's Automat on gage St. . See you soon. We talked and soon she was gone. I went for a run. It had been a long time since I had last done this!
