The tea shop was fairly busy in the early afternoon. With the dip in temperature, everyone seemed to be crowding into the warm and friendly eateries in town. Dressed snugly in her long red coat and a voluminous scarf, Maura hurried in just after 2 o’clock, barely able to tolerate the slight wind outside. Gently maneuvering around patrons and greeting acquaintances, she only just managed to find a little seat in the back corner of the shop underneath one of its prettier paintings. After a long moment of cheerfully catching up with her aunt and batting off her nosy questions, she settled into her seat, draping her coat across the back of the chair.
She’d ordered a full pot of dark tea for this afternoon and a plate of scones in anticipation of Caden’s arrival. Their weekly brunch, or what amounted to brunch for people with schedules like theirs, was a highlight for her. She didn’t miss many things about Antoine’s but getting to see her friend regularly was one of them. Maura perked up as she saw Caden cross the threshold of the door, waving she beckoned him over. “Caden, honey, over here.”
