So she returns to Mel's 

the diner

that smells

pancakes 

bacon 

you know the things 

she returns and waiter makes coffee and sings 

he humms not sings his voice wasn't meant for the tune 

she tells him she needs cold in the middle of june

he laughs and he asks if she would like a shake

she tells him the freezer floor will give her a break 

The freezer?

The freezer. 

I cannot let you in the freezer.

The more she explains, the crazier he sees her.

I'll give you $20 bucks. 

This indeed was a lie; she had nothing but overdraft to cover her night. 

Okay.

Okay?

Okay, wait for my break and I'll give you yours. 

Thank you sweet waiter, I'll find sweet center on those floors.
