The internal workings of a small town baritsta
The hidden intelligence of the coffee girl is a treasure buried deep within her depths. Rarely does it emerge from beneath her soul and when it does, observers are blinded by the glow that encases her. To most, she is the girl in glasses that memorizes their orders, but usually forgets their names, says a "Howdy, how are you today." A pro at multi-tasking, she waits on you and the next 3 people in line. She is, the neighborhood coffee girl.
To many, she may not hold a degree or think much beyond coffee. They do not realize that her mind never stops analyzing and observing the going ons in her 1000 square foot encasement. The meetings with lawyers and clients, money men and clients, the boss and the pleading employee or maybe just friends meeting for a cup of joe. The body language does not go unobserved or scrutinized. She takes note of the voices tonal inclinations and vibrations. She questions their comings and goings, but only in her head.
There are the "regulars" who know her name and that she was in fact a pre-law graduate who ran off to teach in Brazil. Still wanting to pursue a career in teaching, she has found herself stuck, as the coffee girl. In actuality, she is an owner of the shop. Not financially, but with blood, sweat and tears she pours her heart into her coffee and loyal customers. A 30-something gal, the love of her life is old and failing at the age of 14, her faithful companion, Samson. The few have glimpsed her over active mind and the way it thinks.
