His directions showed a booth in the empty section at the rear of the diner. The hostess motioned for him to sit and dropped the menu on the table. Bart sat his back to the brick wall and watched her disappear around the divider, leaving him alone.
He leaned forward and ran his hands underneath the tabletop and the bench where he sat. He checked his phone, determining he was in the correct spot
“Where is it,” he wondered?
A planter box sat on the divider and Bart’s hand snaked along the rim, searching. He removed the envelope and smiled.

Intriguing and very mysterious – definitely one to keep us guessing. What could have been in that envelope…? I’m guessing it wasn’t just a love letter, and he’s very secretive about it all. Goodness, the mind boggles with possibilities. Well written, Jo. 😀
