recognized him from Robert’s company Christmas party. Mr. Harrison. Robert’s boss.
My stomach tightened. I had met him briefly years earlier, but I was sure he wouldn’t remember me.
The hostess led them toward my section.
For a moment, I thought about asking another waitress to take the table.
Then I decided not to. I walked over.
“Good evening. My name is Linda.”
“I’ll be taking care of you tonight.”
Mr. Harrison looked up.
His expression changed.
He stared at my face.
Then at my name tag.
And suddenly, he stood up.
The whole table went quiet.
I froze.
For a moment, I wondered whether Robert had said something about me at work.
“Linda?” he asked.
“Yes?”
He looked surprised.
“You’re Robert’s wife?”
