Something you may not know about Jonathan and myself, is that we are pretty big nerds. We love space, time travel, fringe science, aliens, all that stuff. Inspired by Douglas Adams (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and Doctor Who. Well yesterday in the middle of our lunch rush at work, a gentleman came in to eat. He was nice enough, nothing stood out, except that when I set his drink down on the table he said, "Thanks, babe." We were very busy, so I didn't think much about it at the time, but it's a strange term of endearment for a customer to use. I'm accustomed to sweetie and hun, especially from older country men, but not usually "babe". After he left and I was cleaning the table, I noticed a key chain had been left. I threw it into my apron pocket without really looking at it, and continued working.
Later, when the rush had passed and cleaning was caught up, it was time to change in my moneys, and I remembered the key chain. I was surprised to see that it was for Assassins Creed III, a game Jonathan happens to be playing right now. I gave it to him, and awhile later he made a remark about it being his future self, traveling back to leave him a message, which he always said he would do if he lived long enough for time travel to be invented.
It wasn't until later in the evening that I remembered the "babe" thing and told Jonathan.
Then we both felt chills down our spines a little bit.
Until next time,
Angela Kelly
