She would order the biggest

Combo breakfast

Hot coffee.

A good 20 minutes off

From gattling gun pace.

Judy would Master

The front counter, anyways.

Always did, with flair.

Specially for the Seniors.

So many new workers.

Mostly East Indian.

Very courteous but

So impractical.

Ten months back.

Several good friends walked.

Oh well, the holiday

No one knew.

No one, that she

Was not coming back.

Convinced her about

Real Estate, and a

Little more independence.

Civil hours, nice clothes

Intelligent transactions.

With inflated prices.

Fortunes to be made.

Fortunes.

And after a good

Dose of sun and fun.

Getting re-acquainted

With Steve.

She hoped.
