It was fate

It was late on a hot July evening. Kassie was the bartender at the all night diner over on highway 2. She had been working there for 5 years and had never met the owner. He was an elusive figure whom no employee ever really saw. She occasionally worked alone as not many people drove down highway 2 anymore. The sun was setting and the soft country breeze came in through the open shutters. She was about to sit down to have her break when he walked around the corner. Dressed in a working mans uniform; hard helmet, carhart pants and a torn t-shirt, Kassie felt time stand still. She always had a twinkle in her eye but tonight it was extra bright. Kassie always treated every customer as if they were a guest in her home, but this gentlemen got some extra attention from her that night. He looked at her with a matching twinkle in his eye as they both felt their souls connect.
