It’s the only peace she gets now. A few minutes at the new cafe when she walks down the hill for Momma’s daily paper. Momma still refuses to let them deliver it to the house even though the Baylor boy has long since given up the route. Even his son has outgrown delivering papers. Momma likes sending Amanda on the errand.
Momma doesn’t remember any of the news she reads but she’s had the habit for fifty-five years. It’s one more chore for Amanda but it helps keep the mornings peaceful. Familiar routines and ten stolen minutes with the little Italian coffee.
