Lunch with Betty.

I got a pleasant surprise at lunch today: Betty was eating lunch in the break room! I was wowed for a moment (I hadn't seen her since Monday), then I asked if I could sit by her. She agreed, and we talked briefly. She told me she didn't normally have lunch there because the room was usually crowded at the time she takes her lunch. Today, there were only a few other people in the room, and they were sitting at the other table. We sat next to each other for about half of my lunch break before she left to get back to work. I read the book I brought for awhile after that, then I left the break room happy for the experience.....
