Alexis sat alone at an outdoor café sipping on a mimosa and taking a drag from her cigarette. She felt like she was one of the last few smokers in modern society. Smoking was a habit she couldn’t kick. An imperfect part of herself that she learned to accept. As Alexis enjoyed the warm summer breeze, she thoughtfully observed a woman a few yards away. The woman was sitting across the table from a man. Alexis could tell the man was in his late thirties. They sat and ate their brunch. Alexis noticed how the woman gazed adoringly at the man. The man’s cell phone rang. He glanced at it and answered. He gripped his phone against his ear. He ended the conversation and said a few words to his lunch companion. He rose to his feet and hurriedly left the café. The lady’s face fell. Her sad expression vividly announced that her happiness had just walked away. Alexis couldn’t help herself. She stubbed her cigarette in an ashtray, rose gingerly from her table, and slowly walked toward the young girl, who looked to be around twenty.
