Title: A Place at the Table
Author: jule1122
Prompt: Table
At the diner, Debbie always made sure the tables were cleared immediately. Dirty tables meant fewer customers and smaller tips. Debbie would never get rich waiting tables so she had to make the most of what she had.
Debbie never rushed meals at home. There was always time for one more glass of wine or another helping of ziti. Even after the leftovers were packed away and most of the dishes were soaking in the sink, she kept everyone at the table, sharing stories and laughing. With no clock to punch, Debbie could linger, savoring every moment with her family.
