I walked into the restaurant to see Dominique sitting at a round table that sophisticated in a quiet corner of the restaurant. I notice that she didn’t see me approaching her, as she was flirting with our waiter. I calmly take my seat trying to keep the smirk that attempts to form on my lips but to my dismay I found myself smirking at my sister. Eventually we began to chit-chat about life, our overall goals after we graduate college. Although I’m not sure what I’m going to do I’m able to keep up with conversation. After 20 minutes or so the waitress comes out to deliver our lunch for the day. Dominique must have been hungry because she begins eating without saying grace which I’m no one to judge. After I say my grace silently to not offend Dominique, I start to think about my life. Dominique must have noticed that I zoned out because she asked “ Are you good?” I turn to answer her starting “Yess I’m jus…” I suddenly stop mid-sentence and just stare forward as if something has caught my attention. I clear my mind at the moment because nothing else matters at this time. Dominique looks at me with concern but I don’t give her a response. I simple look forward as if I’m looking for something… or someone. Dominique realize that I’m now focused on my own thoughts so she slowly turns to walk away. As if by instinct I get up, leaving $100 on the table. I walk towards the lake by the restaurant and just stare forward. It’s not something I'm foreign to me. It's not unusual for me to zone out and disappear but it's not everyday someone lost is found. When I look up a second time I notice him.
