Good Morning

AAAAAHHHHHH !

I awoke from that dream, sitting up in bed. I won’t be wandering the woods anytime soon but being awake now gave me the chance to think straight.

So, right. Jack wants me because … I have Trey. That doesn’t make much sense but oh well. At least I have a reasonable um reason.

I felt a lot better once I figured Jack all out. It was like a crazy accomplishment. I was so happy that I skipped to my volunteer job at Catlett’s Coffee.

Once I was settled behind the cash register, I had to push all my happiness into the customers’ faces. “Hi! Welcome to Catlett’s Coffee! How may I—“ but my voice trailed off as I looked at the customer, Jack.

Of course.

He stared at me. “Something wrong? Can I not order coffee?â€?

“Sorry Jack, this place doesn’t serve people like you.â€?

Suddenly, Sheryl interrupted. “So sorry, sir. Kit probably had a bad morning.â€? Actually, I had an amazing morning beside my dream. Thank you. “Why don’t you come on in the back and get yourself something free?â€?

NO NO NO !
