A single customer in the lobby of a crowded restaurant

She is leaning against the glass door

ignoring the noise and careless strangers bumping into her 

 

A single customer is on the phone

cupping her hand around one ear

A single customer waits a long time

until the hostess shouts out

As they walk toward a table

customer no longer on the phone, hostess with two menus

Linda holds up a single finger,  followed by no one
