Mocha, Mid-afternoon, Emma, OTA/MW
A morning at work, followed by chores, had left Emma feeling rather more than just peckish. Leaving Lily asleep with Faith (a long walk had rather done the pair of them in chasing each other round Riverwalk Park) she headed down to the Mocha with just her phone, a small sketch book and a couple of pencils (not including the three stuck in her hair). Ordering a sandwich, some cookies, and a large pot of tea, she settled at a table where she could easily keep half an eye on the comings and goings, but still appear to be engrossed in what she was drawing in the sketchpad. Truth was she was sketching the faces of the people around her, a pair of eyes here, a nose or a profile there, a raised eyebrow, the way one woman's hair just curled around her ear... Little bits of people, little details that were so important in getting a person right. Emma knew she needed practice at those.
Of course it didn't help that she was kind of at a loose end, with college out she had so much more free time to do things.... she just wasn't doing anything!
