She wants to refuse. She has her work set out across the table as she finds it easier to concentrate that way but she knows it’s selfish to take up two seats. “No, you can – one second?” she asks, carefully gathering the graphs and charts from his side of the surface. “You can sit. If you wouldn’t mind being careful not to spill anything on my work” she asks with a hopeful smile before her eyes narrow on the man before her. “Have we met before?”

He waited patiently for her to move her things, smiling gratefully as he sat down. “Thank you. I’m sorry to be a bother, there isn’t anywhere else to sit” he explained, looking around the diner again. “I promise to be careful. Not officially, no. But I do some work on campus, you might have seen me around.”

Sayra had been ready to leave, she’d finished eating a while ago and was selfishly taking up a seat but as she spotted the man heading her way, she changed her mind and stayed put. Looking up at him with a smile, she gestured towards the seat and nodded. “No, I’m all alone” she sighed. “I could use a little company. Especially that of a handsome stranger.”

Smiling as he sat down, Shane’s expression turned to shock when she continued to speak. “Handsome?” he repeated. “Thanks” he replied, clearly nervous. “I guess it’s nice to not have to eat alone.”

     “Nope, not at all,” she chirped, flashing her most winning smile and gesturing towards the empty side of the booth across from her. “Welcome to my office.” It wasn’t like she had the funds for a proper workplace, and besides, she could plan events anywhere. The best places were preferably ones that served milkshakes, though. “What are you in for? Birthday party, surprise party, bachelor party? Surprise birthday bachelor party?”

“Thank you” he smiled, taking a seat. “Is a surprise birthday bachelor party something people have? Seems like that would need to be a spectacular event to match the long title” he laughed. “Are you a party planner?” he asked.

Looking up from her salad at the voice, Chris smiled at the stranger and was quick to nod. “Oh, go for it. It doesn’t look like there are a lot of free spots so you’re more than welcome to have that one.”

“Thank you” he said quietly but with a smile. “I’ve never seen it so busy in here but I guess that’s what happens this time of year.” Shane didn’t do small talk often. He was quite shy but he thought he should offer some conversation to the person letting him sit with them.

The diner seemed to be pretty overcrowded and trying to juggle a laptop in one hand and his food in the other, Shane quickly set his sights on the only open seat. Clearing his throat, he looked down at the person sitting at the table. “Is this seat taken?”
