The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper

Chapter 0018

She takes out a black tablecloth that looks like something out of a fine dining restaurant and spreads it on the table. Then she sets the table for one with a linen. napkin and utensils. I sit and she puts the plate with the dome covering it in front

of me.

“You have your choice of coffee, tea or soda to drink.”

“Uh, soda, please Tamara.”

She smiles, pours a glass of soda for me and then sets another, smaller plate on the table. Pointing to the smaller plate, she says, “This is dessert“.

“Is there anything else I can get you?”

“Was there a card?”

She reaches into her pocket and hands me the card. “When you are done, just leave it all here and I’ll come back and collect it.” She nods at me and heads out of the cafeteria.

“Thank you.”

I realize that no one is saying anything. The entire cafeteria is quiet, watching me. No one is even going through the line to get their food for lunch. From somewhere in the back, someone hollers, “Well, let’s see what you got for lunch.”

I pull the cover off the plate and my mouth instantly starts to water. It’s filet. mignon and lobster tail, mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. My mouth drops open and every shifter in the room groans, almost simultaneously as they catch the scent of my delicious lunch. There’s a small dish inside with melted butter and a separate pat of butter for the potato or asparagus, not sure.

I hear Jason’s voice, much more airy and distracted than normal, asking the card say?” while Lacey, never taking her eyes off my food, uses her finger to close my gaping mouth.

I snap my mouth closed and open the card.
