“Excellent,” said Dennis.

“You weren’t too bad yourself. Hi I’m Dorothy.”

“Dennis,” he replied as he pointed towards the chair indicating she was welcome to join him if she wished.

“I think I will,” she said with a smile, as she sat down. “That was something special. I’m not ready to leave yet.”

Dennis sat typing furiously when his face frowned. He reached out for a sip of his coffee thinking about how to reword the sentence he had written so it made more sense. His ears perked up as his favourite song washed through the Cafe’s speakers. He was tempted to air guitar the opening riff but waited until the first verse started. He sang quietly along when suddenly a louder more tuneful voice crooned. Dennis rose to the occasion as they both looked at each other with a sense of surprise. Their voices rose together catching the interest of all the patrons in the cafe. As each sensed a growing confidence their voices grew in strength. Smiling with delight at this unexpected turn of events they performed the duet until the very end.  

After the applause died down they turned towards each other. 

“Excellent,” said Dennis.

“You weren’t too bad yourself. Hi I’m Dorothy.”

“Dennis,” he replied as he pointed towards the chair indicating she was welcome to join him if she wished.

“I think I will,” she said with a smile, as she sat down. “That was something special. I’m not ready to leave yet.”
