Wayne Munson’s lived his life mostly free from the hubbub of small town gossip. Some was unavoidable in his tiny holler as a boy; more was part and parcel to the service, and plain keeping half-sane in war, but the point of the matter is this: he don’t mean to collect any of the latest scuttlebutt on his way just to town after he gets off his shift just past 5, where the diner's got a better cup-o-joe than the sludge he gets on the floor. And honest: he don’t think that’s more than he’s earned the right to ask. But it is more than he bargained for signin’ up to, when he sees the only other people in the diner at this hour on a Saturday. - Or: Wayne maybe sees his nephew's boy with a lady friend at the diner one innocuous weekend morning, and he maybe overhears some concerning words shared between the two of them—he can't be blamed for being unable to turn off his own ears. It could be argued, however, that he can be blamed for the conclusions he draws as a result, and for the handwringing that follows. He was raised better than to countenance idle gossip, after all.
