“You’ve got a couple cuties at table three, Heidi.”
I smile at Brandy the hostess as she glides past me. “I’m on it,” I tell her with a smile.
She hums, teasing me as I grab two menus and hustle toward the tables near the left of the entrance.
“Hey, little sister!”
I snap to attention a few feet away from table three.
“Seth!” I say in surprise. He looks as shocked as I do, along with the second cutie across from him in the booth.
Drew.
“Hey,” I say.
Seth gestures around. “You work here?”
“Uh...” I step up to the table, helplessly focused on Drew. “Yeah. I started a few weeks back.”
“Awesome. We love this place.”
I tear my eyes away from Drew. “Oh, yeah?”
“We come here every morning after a party for pancakes. It’s our tradition.”
Drew nods. “We call it post-party pancakes.”
I chuckle. “Something like that just names itself, doesn’t it?” I look at my order pad. “So, you guys want the triple stack?”
“Yes, please!” Seth says. “Bacon and scrambled eggs on mine.”
I jot it down. “All right.”
“Turkey bacon and egg whites for me, please,” Drew says.
Seth sighs. “Dammit. Okay, fine.”
Drew raises his hands in defense. “Hey, I said nothing.”
“No, no. You guilted me into it.” Seth points at my order pad. “Make mine egg whites, too, but I’m keeping the bacon.”
“Freshman fifteen happens to juniors, too, man...” Drew teases. “All I’m going to say.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
I laugh as I make the correction. “You guys spend a lot of time together, huh?”
“Well, Heidi,” Seth begins, “when two men love each other very, very much?—”
“Stop,” Drew says.
I bite my lip, smothering my laugh. “It all makes sense now.”
“Love unrequited,” Seth says, faking tears. “Cuts like a knife...”
Drew exhales slowly as he looks at me for help. “And coffee, please.”
“Yes! All the coffee you have!” Seth straightens up, proud and happy. “We had two very… long nights.”
