Trying To Hear Two Booths Away

I got freaked out the girl said. It was a wow. I stretched my dog-ears to hear “….store now.” She was sitting in a booth two tables away. I walked to the bathroom to peek at her today. blonde hair and light blue eyes, maybe a Norse? she was one of those cutie petooties of course. Her friend had taken the conversation over. No one could hear it, not even my poodle named Rover. I returned to my seat and picked up the book. Pretended it was entertaining, in this tiny nook. My waitress came over and tried to speak to me. By now I could hear her voice again, the pretty young she. “shh!” I said to the waitress, as I sent her away. The excited voice was quiet now on this dreary May day. I have no idea what she was trying to say. But I feel I missed an entire novel this ugly Tuesday.
