It has been a long busy week at the Mom and Pop coffee shop! Between Tucker and Uriah, they have completely renovated the inside!! More seating; more lighting to catch up with the times; they worked so hard they thought they’d never stop! Uriana and Talia added some sandwiches to the menu; they also subtracted some items which wasn’t easy to do. Uriana has seen a change of faces that would walk in in years past. Many of her dearest customers either moved or have since passed. This younger generation that’s in alignment with her age, they themselves have their own unique cravings and tastes. So between Uriana and Taila and a customer or two; came up with an updated menu! As the week draws to a close Talia and Uriana get to talking about the guys; Uriana is quite pleased with their hard work; “isn’t it amazing? Talia questions; “is what amazing? Talia asks. “Tucker loved coming here as a little boy! And now here he is helping bring this shop back to life? Uriana had no idea Tucker was a customer years ago. “I suppose you’re right she says; I’ll see you tomorrow. Tucker stops in the office to see Uriana one last time for today. “Tucker!” She says with a perplexing look to her face. “When were you going to tell me that you were once a customer here? Tucker wonders how she found out; “well; he says; “I was waiting for the right time I suppose. “But I maybe had some fear.” Tucker explains how he didn’t want to simply get the job just by who he once knew; he wanted Uriana to see what he’s capable of and come to her decision through seeing just all he can do. Uriana accepts his apology and this ends the chapter today; tomorrow ends this story; will you come back? What do you say?

A charming story of a coffee shop where patrons' nostalgia leads to a remarkable bond between two people.
Piece by piece the story is revealed and the puzzle comes together. Nicely done
