Kris T. Bethke's Something Like Box Set

When Millie was gone again, I settled back into my chair and let my gaze sweep the interior of the diner. It was still relatively quiet.

The Diner wouldn’t get busy again for another hour or so, and that gave Brandon and me plenty of time to eat and leave before the crush.
