Adam
The bell chimes over the door of Sal’s Diner as I pull it open, immediately
welcomed by the scent of frying bacon and coffee. The place is packed,
and I let out a grumble as I squeeze through the horde of patrons to reach the
hostess stand.
The young woman behind the booth greets me with wide eyes and a
flirtatious smile.
“Mr. Goode,” she chimes happily as she picks up a menu.
“Good morning, Veronica,” I reply with a grin.
She blushes as her gaze lingers on my face for a moment too long, clearly
chuffed by the fact that I remembered her name. Then, she spins toward the
bar, and her expression falls when she notices that every single stool is
occupied, including the one on the corner that I always take.
“I’m…sorry,” she stammers, but I hold up a hand to stop her.
“It’s okay, Veronica. I can wait.”
“I’m really sorry,” she repeats, looking apologetic, but I shake my head at
her as I quietly ease into the corner of the crowded waiting area, pulling out
my phone in hopes that it will hide my face enough to not be noticed here.
Apparently, Sal’s has picked up in popularity over the last few months. It
doesn’t help that Austin is filled to the brim with trendy brunch spots—it
would appear that greasy spoon diners are back in because every hipster
tourist or college kid within a thirty-mile radius has started packing in the
tiny restaurant each weekend.
My regular Saturday morning diner.
The only saving grace is that most hipster tourists and college kids don’t
know who I am. Unless their parents tuned into my father’s Sunday morning
program, they don’t know Adam Goode from Adam Levine.
And my Saturday morning breakfast is the only time I like it that way.
Any other day or time, I’d be happy to smile for selfies or sign their King
James Versions, but this is my time. This is when I get my writing done,
where I can really focus and create my best sermons. I usually watch
recordings of old sermons on my phone before digging into writing my own.
I have my own office at the church, but I prefer working elsewhere. When
I’m here, surrounded by the white noise chatter of the breakfast patrons, I feel
as if I can really tap into something deeper.
Someday I might not have this option. I’ll be too busy running the church
instead of just writing sermons for it.
Eventually, it will be me at that pulpit on Sunday mornings. But for now,
it’s still him.
So, until then…waffles and coffee.
“Just one?” a warm voice chirps from the hostess stand, and I glance up
from my phone to see a mess of pink waves on a petite frame standing near
the front. “It’ll be about thirty to forty-five minutes.”
