A Stranger in Town

Like I was saying Emma Jean were working behind the counter down at The Beanery. All this were happening during WWII and one day this soldier come into the cafe. He just got off the train and he were walking with the aid of crutches. Well, he come in and sat down at the counter right in front of Emma Jean who were slicing up a cherry pie. He must have made a big todo over her 'cause she were smitten. He told her he were on a special assignment since he got wounded in Italy. He were collecting clothes and other stuff to send to the boys overseas. After he had a coffee he left and Emma Jean thought she would never see him again, but he come back to town ever couple of weeks. Emma Jean told Myrtle Burns what worked with her at the cafe that she ain't never felt that way about a man before. She said she were gonna slim down and try to get him.
