Done Up Nice

The waitress glanced up as someone entered the diner, then did a double-take when she realised who it was.


"Bill?"


"Yeah?"


"Uh... The usual?"


"Thanks."


He sat down and she poured out a black coffee and fetched a slice of the pie of the day.


"So, what's with the suit?"


"Huh?"


"Well it's just that normally you're in your work gear, you know, the greasy overall and t-shirt thing. Not a suit and tie and neat hair."


"Gotta appointment."


"You look good!"


"Thanks, I guess. I hate it."


"Oh, well, I don't."


His blank stare sank her heart a little.
