Chapter Two
---
Joanne walked down the street to the life, shivering though she was wearing her thick coat. She turned the corner, holding her breath in anticipation of whether or not the café would be open.
But there it was, open and lit just as it had been the year before. She hurried inside, oddly nervous of the people looking at her. She knew that they could not care less who she was or why she was there on Christmas, but it still made her feel self-concious.
Walking though the café, Joanne found a seat in the back corner. It was quiet there, and she could see the snow that blanketed the ground through one of the big windows. She ordered a cocoa and finally got a good look at the café.
It was quite a bit bigger than she had originally thought. There were a lot of large tables spaced around the room, and Christmas lights had been hung around the walls. There were people sitting around the bar, laughing and joking with each other. Everyone looked so happy, and Joanne still couldn't understand why. Weren't they spending Christmas alone?
But as she looked around the café, she realized that there was no reason to be unhappy. The people there were there all had friends. Even the people who were sitting alone looked like they were enjoying themselves just watching.
Even Joanne felt her spirits rising. The café had some sort of influence on her, and she began feeling the happiness that everyone else was experiencing.
The waitress brought Joanne her cocoa, and she began drinking, feeling herself immediately relax. She sank into the warmth of the café, and the chatter around her, finally very glad that she had come.
Suddenly, the bell on the door jingled, and the noise in the café increased greatly.
