The waiter, Francis Drew, shares his experiences of working at a local coffee shop for years, serving a poor and lonely woman named Eliza. Although the job wasn’t his dream, he enjoyed the free coffee and the camaraderie of his co-workers. Francis, who was raised in an orphanage and never knew what it meant to love and care for someone else, found a sense of familial love among his colleagues. He had always loved acting and dreamed of becoming a professional actor, but the lack of consistent work forced him to take a job at the coffee shop to save up for drama college. It was there that he met Eliza, a woman who seemed nice but never spoke much. The workers were curious about her, and Francis believed she was just someone looking for peace and quiet. After several years of serving Eliza every day, she left him a shocking note that revealed a surprising connection between them.
A regular customer named Eliza left a letter and an envelope for the waiter, Francis, as she was leaving the coffee shop. The letter revealed that Eliza was Francis’ mother, who had abandoned him as a baby. She explained that she had been looking for him for years and had finally found him at the coffee shop. Eliza had saved up all her money for two years to help Francis pursue his dream of becoming an actor, which she learned about from overhearing him. The letter left Francis stunned, and he rushed out of the shop to find Eliza. After confirming the truth, the two were overwhelmed with emotions and formed a strong bond. Francis was able to use some of the money to attend drama college and is currently studying to become an actor.
