Sorry For Your Loss

I walked into the kitchen.


"Table 18 is still waiting for-"


I trailed off when I saw the expression on everyone's faces.


"What's going on?"


The youngest rookie was the only one willing to speak.


"Head Chef's wife called."


I waited for a moment.


"And?"


"Head Chef walked into the cold room and hasn't come out yet."


I sighed, took a deep breath, then walked over and opened the door.


I was expecting tears, or a thousand year stare.


Instead, he was laughing and dancing.


"Can that wait till after work?"


"Nope, my Mother finally died, so I quit, Bitch!"
