Edward looked around and took a sketchpad out of his satchel and began drawing the patrons scattered around the bar and sitting at the little tables.'It will hardly rival Nighthawks,' he murmured as he sketched, 'but there is an interesting aura here I'd like to capture.'By the time the crab arrived Edward had finished his sketch. The band ended their first set as we began enjoying the crisp battered crab legs. More people had arrived while the band was playing and the room was now noisily convivial. We didn't talk much as we ate, but Edward did order two more drinks.When there was nothing left on our plates but crumbs Edward downed the last of his wine and stood up. 'I'm off,' he said. 'Always a pleasure to see you. Will you be singing?''Not tonight,' I replied. 'I'm just here to relax.''Until next time,' Edward said. 'If I do this painting I'll send you a photo.'I thanked him for the food and waved as he headed to the back door. I rejoined the people I had been sitting with. One of them asked, 'Who was that? You should have brought him over to sit with us.'I shook my head. 'Just an acquaintance, but he's not terribly social. And he was anxious to get to New York.''Maybe next time,' said one of the women.'I doubt it,' I said. 'It was just an unusual coincidence that he was here at all.'About 10 days later there was an envelope from Edward in my mailbox. As promised, he'd sent a photo of the painting he'd done from his sketches at the bar, along with a short note.'Hardly a masterpiece,' he wrote, 'but a small remembrance of another pleasant encounter with you. And the crab was delicious.'~ excerpt from a longer piece 2014 RC deWinter
