Downward Facing Death
“Other than the actual opening day itself, this was the moment she had been waiting for most—a mundane thing to some, maybe, but full of significance to her.
This was the day her sign went up. When the café announced itself to the world, or to Belfrey at least. When the “old butcher’s shop” finally became “Keeley’s café.” Or to be more exact, the Yoga Café. It was a moment she had been excited about, until Edna’s revelations three days ago put a gray fog over everything. One that she just couldn...’t seem to shift. Even her yoga practice, which she had relied on for so long to keep her body balanced and her mind clear, didn’t seem to help for more than an hour or so, and then the fog descended again. She had spent the last few days just going through the motions, watching the café take shape with the dispassionate eye of an observer, as if it were happening to someone else.
Keeley had half expected another letter by now, and when none arrived, had felt a vague disappointment, for at least a touch of fear was better than feeling nothing.MoreLess
