Hotel Lobby
Jeff Brown was walking through the hotel lobby carrying a bottle of Chardonnay in one hand and a bouquet of flowers in the other. Over at the front desk, an attractive female concierge was busy helping other guests. Jeff was patient, taking a spot in line where he waited quietly for a moment of her time. After a minute or two, she looked up, and when her eyes met his, Jeff smiled and presented the bouquet with the best boyish charm he could muster.
"These are for you," Jeff said with a grin, "I hope they brighten your day as much as you brighten it for others." She looked a little surprised, and blushed ever so slightly. "Thank you," she replied softly, "They're so beautiful!" After a long gaze to admire the vibrant colors and delicate beauty, she continued, "Oh, and I have something for you!"
It was a note we'd left at the front desk for 'Brownie.' It read: "Just a little something to commemorate your 100th career goal. It doesn't matter that we didn't have to, just like it doesn't matter most of the goals were scored for another team. You're a big part of the Canuck family now, and we take care of our own. Enjoy your bonus check, and thank you for being such an important part of our core!"
