Phone Home
I'd noticed the guy in my section earlier. With the rumpled suit and trench coat combined with the hang-dog expression, he looked like an accountant down on his luck.
"Refill?"
He tilted his head at me with a confused expression as if I'd instead asked him for the secrets of the universe, before nodding.
"Everything okay?" I asked, gesturing to the slice of apple pie he'd only toyed with.
"I'm worried... my friend's not called for a while," he replied in a gravel-like voice, holding up a cell phone.
As if on cue, it rang with a trilling sound.
"Hello Dean," he answered with a smile as pure and bright as I'd imagine the sunbeam that created the first rainbow.
I topped up his coffee and left him to his conversation, finding my own joy in the happiness of others. I guess we all need a Dean in our lives.
