Those long fingers started drumming on the table again, a swift and regular pattern.
"The woman two tables over is about to tell her partner she's pregnant. You got a haircut three days ago but you didn't go to your usual place, probably because you were in a rush or you were in a different neighborhood anyway. Five tables behind us, to the left, the fellow in the green shirt is considering proposing to his boyfriend but he's probably not going to do it here. You called Harry this morning but didn't talk to her--she's probably out, or busy with a girlfriend, which you were counting on. Our waiter, Billy, has taken up practicing guitar again, likely to impress the barista at the coffee shop on the opposite corner. Your shoulder hasn't bothered you in at least five days."
