"That One Particular Diner (Katherine On Her Way)"
She stops at this same diner most trips. The older of the regular waitresses seems to remember her, or at least that she always wants coffee and a water and Dr Pepper. Maybe she's memorable because Katherine also writes in the same type of reporter's notebook, same pen, same handwriting. She always closes the notebook once she's done with her thought. Once, the waitress asked what she was writing. "Nothing I'd never say out loud," Kate joked. The waitress nodded with a knowing smile. On her next visit, the waitress looked at her differently, warmer. More like a freind than a waitress. Neither of them needed to say anything else.
