Something in His Voice

6/27/2018

4 Comments

 
After my invitation to eat together, the man stopped, hesitated, then turned to me. "Yeah," he said. "That would be okay. Where do you want to sit?"
"I like the booths over by the windows, in the sun," I said. "Will that work for you?"
 

He said that would be fine. I heard something flat in his voice.
We took different routes to our chosen booth. He stopped by the condiments table and then arrived carrying plastic ware and napkins for both of us. I already sensed a politeness, a gentle- ness I liked about him.

What might the "something flat" in a person's voice be about?

"Something flat" could be depression, grief, loss or it may be plain 'ol loneliness.

my first thought was: fear - wonder at what was going on - who is this person asking me to eat lunch? is it safe?

Wow......you are the only responder guessing that it was fear.

Stay tuned. One person is calling this whole deal "Thursdays with Robin" a la Mitch Albom's "Tuesdays with Morrie." .
