Waiting at the cafe

She did not know why he chose to meet outside the café. It had turned autumn and the air was crisp as the leaves turned brown. She sipped her coffee to calm her nerves. She didn't understand why she was so nervous. It was not as if this day was not expected.

Her eyes soon caught the sight of him in jeans and a brown leather jacket. The same jacket she brought him as a birthday present. How appropriate she thought – to wear that jacket while delivering divorce papers. As he approached the table, she exhaled and forced a smile.
