The Mentor

"You know what I don't like?" She met his eyes. There was a quiet desperation there.

She pounded her fist on the door. "Why won't he be with me?"

Her voice rose to a shriek with the last few words.

"Why, why?" She stomped her foot. "What am I? Am I like, what? What?"

She put her knee into the side of the door.

"Hey, hey, hey--" Don said sharply.

Her eyes were filled with an earnest longing. She wanted an answer, but Don didn't have one. No one had an answer she wanted to hear.

"Why won't he . . ."

"Hey," he said again, this time more softly.

He touched her hand and shrugged. "We can't do anything about him."

She pursed her lips and looked back to the restaurant.

"But we can do something about you."
