Cafeteria

The elderly couple sat in the small cafeteria in one corner of the hospital.

They were holding hands across the small table and talking quietly. The young intern sitting nearby was watching them. After a while, he saw tears well up. Wanting to make a good impression, without being too intrusive, he got up and as he was passing their table, he paused and said, “The doctors here really are the best you know.”

The man looked surprised at first, then chuckled. He said, in a whisper, “We’re not here for treatment, although we do live locally.”

“Oh! I’m sorry. You looked upset and I thought…”

The man held up his hand. “No. That’s all right, we were talking about our cat that got hit by a car last year, that’s all. We were very fond of it.” He smiled conspiratorially. “We only pop in on the odd occasion.”

He pointed across the room. “Do you see that barista over there?”

The intern looked and nodded.

“He makes the best cup of cappuccino in town”.
