Emily was officially working her final shift at Bee's diner. Earlier she had come in to work thirty minutes before she was supposed to. All so that she could catch the manager before he left. When she had handed the man her resignation letter he had read it with a sorrowful look in his eyes. And then once he had been done with it, he had looked up at her.
"You were one of the best night shift waitresses that this diner has ever had. I am sad to lose you. Is there anything else I can do to make you reconsider your decision?" He had asked, and Emily had shaken her head.
And the man, clearly used to waitresses' quitting, had not tried to follow it up some more. Instead, he had simply accepted the letter and nodded.
Now Emily was in the middle of what would be the last time that she ever set foot in Bee's diner as a worker there.
