My husband, George, and I have been around long enough to know that life can surprise you when you least expect it. But nothing quite prepared us for the dinner we had the other night.
We were finally meeting Jason, our granddaughter’s boyfriend, for the first time. Eden had told us that he was quite the catch.
“He’s so smart, Gran!” she exclaimed. “And so successful and kind. His heart is just filled with kindness.”
So, we chose a sweet little restaurant downtown, known for its cozy atmosphere and excellent service.
“And Granddad will really love the food,” Eden said.
“Okay, darling,” I told her. “We’ll meet you there. Granddad and I are looking forward to this!”
We arrived early, wanting to get settled before the young folks arrived.
“This is the first grandkid that has actually wanted us to meet their boyfriend,” George chuckled.
“I know!” I said. “Which means that Eden must really be serious about him and their relationship.”
As we were shown to our table, George held my hand gently. We’ve been married for fifty years, and little gestures like that still make my heart flutter.
Our waitress, a young woman named Jessica, approached us with a smile. But it was a forced smile that didn’t reach her eyes.
George and I exchanged a look. We had been through this before; there was something about waitstaff and tending to elderly people. They just simply didn’t want to do it.
“Maybe they think we can’t read or see, or we’ll miss our mouths when we eat,” George said one day when we were leaving a coffee shop with a horrible waiter who barely tended to our table.
Now, Jessica handed us the menus and rolled her eyes as we opened them.
“We’re waiting for our granddaughter,” I said. “But we’ll order drinks in the meantime.”
She took out her notepad and nodded.
“We’ll have a cappuccino and an Earl Grey tea,” I replied, smiling back at her while George scanned the menu.
Jessica nodded again and left, not even taking down the order. Her demeanor was somewhat detached, but I didn’t think much of it initially. Maybe she was just having a rough day.
But when she returned, she brought us both iced coffees.
“Oh, sorry, but we ordered a cappuccino and an Earl Grey tea,” George reminded her gently.
Jessica’s expression didn’t change.
“Right, I’m sorry about that. I’ll fix it,” she said, but her tone lacked all warmth.
She walked away, leaving George and me exchanging puzzled glances. A few moments later, a different waiter, a young man who couldn’t have been out of school longer than a year, approached.
