When I opened the hole in the wall coffee shop, she quickly became one of my best customers, at least of those I dealt with. Certainly she understood my working the evening shift, she hated having to set an alarm too.
But it took me far too long to work out who she was. Sure, I was often busy, but even with that excuse, the way she hung out on the street corner most nights, talking to cars that pulled up... I should have seen it earlier.
The perfect late night coffee waitress for drive-up customers, that's all, your honor.
