HENRY'S NIGHT-LONG DREAM.

Latte and scone please Henry said with jam and cream? the barista said no jam or cream Henry said just plain the barista said I like scones but I love them with cream and jam she looked at Henry plenty of cream he smiled yes cream has it's place I guess he said she poured his latte and placed a scone on a plate and took his money and gave him change yes sometimes cream makes it special she said smiling he carried his tray to his table and sat and stirred his latte and spooned off the top cream and eyed her as she served the following customer she was an Italian (the barista) who spoke good English and had the darkest of eyes and black curly hair the scone was good and he enjoyed each mouthful without jam or cream and he captured in mind the barista for his night-long dream.
