Second Position (2015)
“asks Carmen when I reach the counter during rush hour in the morning. She starts my usual Americano at the espresso machine and rings me up without a complaint. She barely meets my eyes. Every time I come in, she asks about Aly. It’s getting old.

Last night, I lay awake, staring at the ceiling and trying to convince myself that this wasn’t the worst idea I’ve ever had.MoreLess
