010 "Places That Don't Feel the Same"  PART THREE


Kirsten Thurlow Sutton swooshes into the cafe with her crossbody bag slung over her shoulder, her phone in one hand and a large Stanley cup in the other. The balancing act of her mornings has become second nature to her — after raising two children. Especially after creating a plan forward with her life.


The cafe is in a mid afternoon rush. Which means the sound of commotion and the fluttering of waitresses causes sensory issues for the blonde. As casually as she is able to, she makes her way through the warfare of the dining area and moves beyond the counter that separates the kitchen from the patrons. 


“Hi boss lady,” Aimee chimes in as she swings a drawer closed with her hip and hoists a tray up over her head, “if you’re looking for daddy Adrian he’s in the back.”


Kirsten grimaces at the word daddy. “Please,” she starts, “don’t call him daddy.” This isn’t the first time that she’s had to chastise the younger waitress and she knows it won’t be last, especially if they’re spending the evening shift together.


The younger woman flashes her a toothy smile. “Relax, it’s not that serious.”


She knows better to pick a fight with the petite brunette. Aimee may be a terrible gossip but she’s also a damned good waitress. Half the business owners in Sage Gardens have tried stealing the bubbly girl from the cafe — this month alone.
