Falling

Carrington

I got ready and headed to class. I planned on stopping by the coffee shop after class to visit Gloria. After class was over, I trekked to the coffeehouse, whistling. I was in a good mood, but that’s nothing new there. After entering and approaching the counter, I saw Gloria.

/"I’ll be right with you./"

I waited there, smiling.

/"What can I get you?/" She turned to face me.

That’s when I saw the bruise on her cheek. My brows furrowed.

/"Hi, Carri./" She beamed.

/"Hi, Gloria./" I studied the bruise but said nothing. I didn’t need to draw attention to it, but I’ll ask her about it later. /"A coffee, please./"

/"One coffee coming up./" She grabbed my coffee.

I wondered about that bruise. It wasn’t there yesterday.
