It was a few weeks later, and my friend Sarah was in town and staying with my friends and I at our house. She was home for a short furlough from her mission work in the Philippines. She and Sandra called me while I was doing my normal jog and wanted to know if I wanted to meet them for coffee at the Java Joint. I was all for that, of course. (Let me just insert here, Sarah is a coffee connoisseur. Any chance that we could get a cup of Joe, Sarah was there! As she always says, "Today is a five cup of coffee day!")
I came in the Java Joint that night and spied my two friends. As soon as I got over to them, Sarah informed me that Robert and Mike were around the corner at a table in another room. As I went to the counter to order my coffee, I figured I'd better stop and say hello. After all, they had purchased my latte a few weeks prior and I did not want to snub them.
Robert and Mike asked me what I was doing there and I told them that I was meeting my friends, Sandra and Sarah. They then invited me and my two friends to sit at their table. It was a fun night filled with lots of conversation as they inquired about Sarah's work in the Philippines and Sandra's job at the church. Time slipped quickly by as we really enjoyed each others company. It was getting pretty late and as we gathered our belongings to leave the two gentlemen shot out an open invitation to come and join them anytime we wanted. They were always there on Friday night. They probably never expected us to take them up on that offer, but what else do three single ladies have to do on a Friday night?
