Where to start with this one? Perhaps, at the risk of major spoilers, right at the end.
“How did you enjoy your meal?”
asked our waitress.
Mrs Diner killed me with a look. “Just pay and leave, there’s no point,” it said.
She was right. It wasn’t that there had been a couple of bum notes, this performance had been an entire symphony of discord. It was like spending an hour strapped to a chair being forced to listen to Beethoven played on recorders by 5-year-olds. Sure, it had been torture, but they were only children, and the cool air of freedom was just a step away.
Besides, if I told our waitress the truth, she might cry. So we nodded our applause, paid and left.
But back to the beginning, when we were still hungry and full of hope.
