Description
I set up at a table. I ordered my drink. I waited. Nobody sat down.
The room was full of conversations I wasn’t part of. I had my phone recording the whole time. After a few hours something shifted — not dramatically, just quietly. I was packing up when Jennifer started talking.
Jennifer owns the shop. She knew I was recording. She said yes.
