she doesn't mind the host's double check
table for one?
or the waiter's
doesn't mind hearing references to the patheticness of it
from her tv screen
doesn't mind the quiet
what she hates
is the empty chair across from her
empty
the chair makes her feel not like she's eating alone
but that she's not eating with him
the chair sits there and he does not
feels silly to order ketchup on the side and leave it, untouched
but it was his favourite
