Mrs. Kim's POV
Luke Danes is a very kind man. He take care of my Lane when she lose her head and leave home. Lane needed a job and Luke took her in with open arms. I know Lane is a hard-worker. I taught her that. But, Luke also look out for Lane, not as an employee, but as a friend.
It was a few weeks after Lane moved into that filth hole she call an apartment. I happen to see Lane leave work. Truth be told, I watched everyday from my window. Six o'clock sharp and Lane left the diner. I had to be sure she was okay. On this day she didn't look well. I could tell because Lane would always tuck her nose inside the collar of her coat when she didn't feel well. I watched her cross the street and her nose was tucked behind her collar, her hands shoved deep in her pockets. It was cold and I was worried. I continued to watch her walk from the window as I started to put on my coat. That's when I saw him.
Luke came running out of the diner in that silly green coat he's fond of. He was throwing a scarf around his neck with one hand and carrying something with the other. Luke is a smart man. He knows that dressing weather-appropriate helps fend off cold and infection. I've heard him say it. He should really have had a talk with Lorelai about that. She's always wearing clothing that isn't weather-appropriate.
I was looking out the window and I saw Luke catch up to Lane and hand her a Styrofoam bowl and spoon. I knew it must be soup because he dug a packet of crackers from his pocket and handed them to her. She lifted her face out from behind the collar of her coat and smiled. Lane was starting to tuck her face back into her coat and Luke turned around. He must have said something because Lane stopped and turned to him. That's when I saw Luke take off his scarf and wrap it around her neck.
He turned to walk back to the diner and Lane walked out of view. I removed my coat and went back to work, silently happy that Lane had someone besides me looking out for her.
