"i 'liked' it and i shouldn't have." - a customer at my restaurant, who was experiencing a very acute trauma

"parallel lives"
this man in a black beanie came into my restaurant for lunch with his boyfriend on his birthday. i'm relatively sure they were there for lunch because it was lunchtime and they ordered lunch food. i'm relatively sure it was his birthday because i interrupted him while he was opening a birthday present. i'm relatively sure the person he was with was his boyfriend, because they laughed and talked and touched they way boyfriends often do.
a few days later, the same man wearing the same black beanie came in for what would, again, be most accurately described as "lunch." this time, he sat across the table from a person who appeared to be a woman and his friend.
today, at chipotle, i saw this man again. he had a large to-go bag that looked like it was probably holding enough food for at least two people. he had his coat on and one head phone in--the combination of which makes me believe he planned to leave chipotle and bring the bag of food somewhere else, to eat it with at least one other person.
i'm happy for this man, because it seems like he lives a life where he has a lot of people who want to eat with him.
