She points and nods to her favorite associate with enthusiasm, and within minutes, the bag handle meets her palm. “See you soon!” the employee chatters. Her feet get heavier as she leaves the store and approaches her apartment door. Well, apartment door is humble. Her townhouse door. She lingers outside, pretends to get a phone...
