Chapter 9 - The Local Waitress Spots Arthur Standing Again
The diner waitress walked out to check on the vehicle, freezing in absolute shock when she looked through the window.
“Mr. Vance... is that really you walking around?” she asked, clutching her order pad against her chest.
“It is, Martha,” Arthur replied calmly, rolling down the tinted glass a few inches. “Miracles still happen.”
“Everyone in town thought you were bound to that wheelchair for the rest of your natural life!” she gasped.
“Let’s keep our current location between us for a little while longer, Martha,” Arthur requested, slipping her a generous tip.
“You got it, Mr. Vance. Nobody hears a word from me,” she promised, stepping back with a knowing nod.
