It was a combined setting of Duke and high school, I went from hanging out with some people, getting ready to see a Duke basketball game, to ending up going to a football stadium to see some other game. Taylor King was in the audience, standing by himself. As I was getting ready, I couldn't find a Duke shirt first, and then I accidentally grabbed red instead of Duke blue shorts.
Afterwards, I found myself heading to a cafe by myself, talking on my cell phone. I was randomly talking to an old high school teacher, one of my favorites, about life in general. I went into the cafe and ordered a variety of small cookies and a coffee, and sat by myself. Somehow, being on the phone wasn't rude in this place. Next to me, there was a lady, her mother, and possibly an aunt, waiting for another guest. They were eating breakfast food, one lady had two eggs and black beans. We made eye contact a few times, they smiled. Then the 4th guest showed up - the youngest's fiance, and he had brought everyone jewelry. He pulls a little jewelry bag out of nowhere and just turns it over on the table, letting it fall out, with this grin on his face. He gave his fiance a necklace I saw in Austin, the aunt some sun medallion, and the future mother in law, some other thing I can't remember. I remember the women looked at me funny, possibly embarassed by the way he just pulled the jewelry out like that.
My teacher asked me about my boyfriend, and I acted like my reception was bad because I didn't want to discuss the long story and details. The waiter tried to take my food away before I was done, and I had to tell him twice that I still wanted to eat the chocolate cookie still on my napkin.
