She was about to push the ladies room to open when someone from inside pulled it. The blonde was so surprised when she saw who the person was. It was the pretty waitress.

“Oh I’m sorry ma’am”   

The blonde was so surprised that she didn’t realize that she was blocking the brunette’s way, the blonde cleared her throat.

“That’s okay” said the blonde

The brunette made a small smile and stepped to her side to let the blonde enter the ladies room

Tina noticed that the pretty woman’s eyes were somewhat red as if she just finished crying and she wondered why. A few minutes later, she went back to her table

“You know Tina it’s my first time here in Houston and I must admit I already like what I see”

“Oh good when did you arrive by the way?”

“Yesterday”

“I love my city and I can guarantee you, you’ll not only like it here you’ll definitely love Houston”

“I’ve heard about the Holocaust Museum,” said Dom

“That museum is really amazing. I have been there several times and I experience new emotions, thoughts on every occasion. In typical museum fashion, they host various exhibits throughout the year featuring a myriad of artists and traveling collections. They have a small gift shop with high quality items, a pleasant staff and free admission but a donation is highly recommended”

“Sounds intriguing”

“It is intriguing and it’s beautiful and respectfully done. Subject matter is heartbreaking but presented in a very respectful way”

Tina told Dom all the great places that he should visit while in Houston and Dom in return said that he would try to fit in his schedule to visit all of them.

“Please Mr. Brown don’t fire me I really, really need this job”

“Bette today is not the only time that you were late, today was the fifth time you were late for the entire month. You know I’m very strict when it comes to attendance”

“I know that but I didn’t mean to be late, I had to find someone to look after my four year old daughter before I leave for work. Please Mr. Brown don’t fire me I’m begging you” Bette wanted to tell the reason why she was late but she didn’t think it’s a good idea to tell the manager that it’s his asshole landlord’s fault why she was late
