Allison was a model employee. She worked late hours to get extra money and her boss knew she had money problems in the time too.

That's why he let her stay late.

He didn't mind her staying late there.

He appreciated Allison doing all this work.

He really wanted employees like her.

7:45am:

The first wave of customers come in as the morning begins. Allison was expecting one particular customer to come in then.

His name?

Ivan Sergei.

He comes to this diner often.

Actually every day in fact.

Every day at 8:00am sharp.

As Allison pours a cup of coffee for one of her other guests and then she hears the little bell rings signaling another customer too.

"I'll be right with you in a moment", Allison replies automatically.

"No need to rush", the voice replies.

With a thick Russian accent.

????.

After pouring the coffee Allison immediately ran to refill the coffee pot and then she came up to where Ivan have sat down by here.

Allison poured the coffee for Ivan and the other man and then she stood up straight ready to get them their orders in the time.

"I'll have the same Allison", Ivan replies.

Allison nods. "You sir?" she asks the other man.

"Eggs benedict", he says with a smile.

Allison nods and she went to the kitchen to give the order to the three cooks that were in the back cooking the meals into the time.

Allison was surprised when Ivan wanted to speak with her after him and his father ( as she found out ) wanted her to know. He asked that she come out to dinner with him and his family in the times there.

"Is that okay with you?" Ivan asks cautiously.

Allison nods. "That's okay with me", she says.

As Ivan left with his father Allison continued on with her day with a smile on her face in the times. She was happy while working.

It was just a perfect day.
