the day before the last day of the year

Went out for dimsum. Had a table by the window. All the dishes were good, really good.

The table next to mine seats four, but it was only occupied by a lady having dimsum with her son. A table full of dimsum but the son was playing his DS. The lady ate slowly and kept looking out the window. I don’t think they said a word to each other.

I paid my bill and put on my jacket. Then I noticed on the seat next to the lady was a bike helmet. Maybe she rode her bike there. Unlikely that it would be a bike for two people. Maybe they both rode their bikes there.
