Day 8

So, I woke this morning and decided that my gift would be a meal. I get very little time with the ,am i love because -well we have to live in secret for many reasons( hence I am manifest some light in my life) NO neither of us are married to someone else. So the weekend because of circumstance and distance is when we see each other. I actually got him for a meal today. I took him to our favorite place and had lunch- then I paid as a break for him. But walking away I knew that my gift was the not that. The lunch with him was a gift from life to us both. My gift for the day was waiting. So on my way home from work I stopped to get my aunt dinner at our favorite buffet. There were tables full of families and booths of couples. As I was fixing her takeout I notice on booth with a haggard looking young doctor in green scrubs and a logo that proclaimed him on staff at our regional hometown hospital. Then I knew. As I paid I told the owner- I want to pay for the doctors buffet too. He looked confused but charged me. I told him just to tell the doctor have a good night. As I was driving by the large glittering windows out of the parking lot I saw the owner standing at the doctors booth and pointing at my car. The doctors face was smiling alittle confused but smiling. I sang show tunes all the way home.
