Dear Reader. I want to tell you this ends well, sadly it does not. Jeff was in love with Melinda. He was in love with Melinda from the moment she walked into the small diner he worked at. He even worked up the courage to tell her about this love. Melinda was a local introvert writer. Her day consisted of coming to the diner alone to write, read, and people watch.
The diner Jeff met Melinda in was as typical as diners come. Great coffee, with breakfast being the meal most adored by the patrons. Jeff spent weeks serving Melinda her breakfast, impressing her with his knowledge of literature, and telling dumb jokes to make her laugh.
Eventually, Melinda relented to this courting. A book they both read was made into a movie and they agreed to accompany each other to review how bad Hollywood made the book. It was bad. However, Jeff and Melinda were just awkward enough to find themselves having sex and starting a more official relationship. Just on an outward judge of things, Melinda, although nerdy hot, was the catch. Jeff was the typical last pick in everything, but he made up for this by staying reasonably fit and incredibly nice....
