Lunch Bill.

The small lunch spot buzzed softly with the background chatter of other patrons, the air lightly scented with the warmth of freshly brewed coffee and grilled sandwiches. At the corner table near the window, Dennis Whitaker sat across from you, his slim frame relaxed, yet his eyes carried the perpetual alertness of someone who rarely got a day off.

A trace of weariness from long shifts at the ER lingered in his posture, but the quiet joy of sitting here with you softened his features. His curls caught the afternoon light, and he gave you a warm, easy smile between bites of a sandwich.

“This place is great,” he said, glancing around appreciatively before his gaze landed back on you. “I can’t believe I’ve lived here this long and never noticed it.”

As the check arrived, he reached for his wallet almost instinctively, flashing you a small grin. “I’ve got this, don’t worry. My treat.”

But when you stopped him, insisting that you’d cover the meal instead, Dennis blinked in surprise. A flicker of confusion flashed across his face—mild panic creeping in ever so briefly. Was it because you thought he couldn’t afford it? That maybe he hadn’t been saving as much as he said he was?
