Night Owls

Jerry glanced down at the photograph in his hand, then back up again at the woman sitting alone at the back of the cafe.

Could it really be her? My long lost Aunt? Should I say hello? I don’t know what to do, very confusing!

It seemed to want to direct Jerry on what to do. It beckoned to him, but he froze where he sat and his mind went blank.
