Luke's Diner, September 29 (Monday)

Sure, it had been nice of Emma Leroy to send Lacey a care package of baked goods -- even though Lacey knew perfectly well that half the reason Emma was doing it was to make a point that she could run the Ruby just as well, if not better, than Lacey. (Probably better. She would infer that. Even though it completely wasn't true. Possibly. Maybe.)

The problem was that the package, which she'd picked up on her way in to work, had apparently taken three extra tours around the northern hemisphere en route to getting to Lacey, because ugh, gross. She hurried to the dumpster out back to dispose of it -- unceremoniously, sure, but it was a matter of expedience and her poor offended nose, really.

It wasn't until an hour later that Lacey realized what that brief, offended call from Emma, weeks ago, had been about. Not even in Dog River, and still managing to upset people without trying to. She was just going to think of it as a unique skill. Yeah. That was it.

Today's Special
Arugula, Spinach, and Mustard Greens Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette

Luke's is open. So are the windows. Sorry about the draft.
