Introduction

Dale’s wife of 40 years had been dead for almost 10 years, and he had not been interested in any other woman until now.

After picking up his tray of McDonald’s Buttermilk Crispy Chicken Sandwich, he scanned the nearly full restaurant and noticed an attractive dark-haired woman who was eating alone at the rear section of the dining area. He discreetly approached her table and asked:

Excuse me, . . . is it okay if I join you?  It’s a bit BUSY by the door, and I like to eat where there’s less traffic. . . .

The woman looked around the room and noticed that the room was quite full.  She smiled and politely answered:

Yes, please do.

Dale thanked her and seated himself across the table from her.  He ate a few bites of his meal and said:

"My name is Dale Z-----.

I don’t come here very often; how about you?  Do you eat here regularly?"

The woman answered:

"No, this is my first time.  I just moved into the neighborhood; I live within walking distance from here.

Oh, I forgot to introduce myself:  My name is Jill
