The Man

"Jackie." The friendly barista at the coffee shops calls out over the crowd.

Jackie stood up, walked over to the counter and took her frap, thanked the barista and then sat back down in the comfy chair she had just gotten out of.

Nick had been nice enough to watch the kids for an hour or so to give her a break so she had come down to the coffee shop with nothing more than her keys, her phone, one of her many coffee gift cards, and her book.

She planned on doing nothing the entire hour except read and drink her coffee.

A half hour passed and she was deeply engaged in her book when the sound of her name being said caught her attention.

She looked up and nearly screamed, sitting across from her was a very nice looking man.
