Lamplighter has a barista more charming than average. This morning I went in with my heart breaking anew over my nineteenth attempt to extinguish our flame when the lovely barista asked me, "Were you in here on a date the other day?" She'd seen us at the table by the door. I didn't know how to answer, as always when someone suggests we're together.
"Who can say?" I responded, "That was my paramour."
