I wanted today's special, which happens to be baked chicken and corn. I sat at a corner booth, as I repeated my order to Janice, I looked around at the quaint theme the place possesses. My heart clenches when I noticed an usually over-looked clock. It was a dark red stained wood clock. The same one I bought for.... but, but it could of been another one they ordered to fit the aura of the restaurant. As Jane came into my peripheral vision, setting down my food. I give her all of the couple of dollars in my pocket.

"Thank you, Janice. But, honey, where did y'all get that clock-it's so stunning?"

My heart was racing as she hesitated to give a reply. Time stood still. Tick, tock, tick, tock.

"Oh, my boyfriend Zane-"

I zoned out as she told me the news. Soon, I was finished with my meal and I grabbed my umbrella on the way out.
