The next morning went essentially the same way, still no stubble, getting dressed and heading downstairs to work, until the lunch rush happened. Well, if one could call it a rush anymore. It was only a small group of regulars, but they were the only ones keeping the business alive, so they were appreciated. As Chris rushed around making sure that everything was running smoothly, Michelle called him over to a table she was waiting at.
"What's up?" Chris asked as he walked up to the table.
