Friday Evening, April 17th

The Boar’s Head

Janet looked around for an empty table. It was only 7:00 but it was a nice Friday night outside and a nice weekend was predicted. The bar was already packed.

She saw an empty little two seat table at the back near the bathrooms and made a beeline for it waving across the room at Billie at the bar as she went. The bartender nodded her way.

One of the barmaids was passing by, just as she was sitting down. She stopped to swipe a damp cloth across the table’s surface and ask Janet what she was having.

“Bud light draft.”

“Be right back. Did you want a menu?”

“Not just yet.”

The young woman disappeared.

Janet turned as she caught the slight chill of a draft. A roadie for the band had just opened the emergency exit door by the stage.
