Old Lady Eats With Homeless Man Daily Until Customer Blurts Out Who He Really Is
Lies
As the rude woman complained about the new friend she had made, Elizabeth stood there, stunned. Could it be true? Did he really live on the streets?
There is no way Elizabeth would have believed it. In retrospect, she was unable to help herself from cringing when she recalled their last conversations. Despite all the warning signs, she had been too oblivious.
Miss Rhodes
An elderly widow, Elizabeth was simply enjoying the last few years of her life. In memory of her late husband, she still lived on the farm they bought together, so many years before.
It was a lifestyle she adored, but it was not without its quirks. It was often lonely on the farm, so Elizabeth visited the city to keep herself occupied.
Her Favorite
There was nothing Elizabeth loved more than the signature chicken nuggets from a nearby diner. In order to keep her mind occupied, she visited the place daily.
At least that way, she got away from the farm and got ample opportunities to socialize with the town’s people. In the end, it was better than nothing, but it wasn’t the best solution.
365 Days A Year
Having no children or grandchildren to keep her company, Elizabeth’s daily trips to the diner quickly became a blessing. It wasn’t quite what Elizabeth expected, though.
It’s true that the staff knew her well and frequently chatted with her. Nevertheless, it wasn’t like lunching with her late husband. Her company was inconsistent at best.
Positives
It was a rollercoaster ride for Elizabeth’s trips, much like the rest of her life. Having been a total socialite, she needed the interactions it provided.
However, there were times when she was very bothered by those very same excursions. The fact that she wished to lock herself up on the farm had nothing to do with that. This was something completely different.
