A delicate chime sounded as Andy entered the small establishment right outside her campus. The warmth from the coffee shop spread across the cold of her cheeks like an embrace. The cold season had already set in across Aurora causing the indoors to become inviting and cozy. Normally the outdoorsy type, Andrea Jordan loved the way it felt to warm up after being out in the cold, and now was no exception. The male running the front counter greeted her cheerily and she gave him a half smile in return.
“Can I get an Americano please?” the girl asked. The barista got to work making the drink as she dipped into her side satchel for a few dollar bills to pay and tip him with. Andy frequented this coffee shop and knew the man to work here often, he always treated her nicely and never forced her into pointless conversations, which she appreciated.
He handed her the warm paper cup, and she handed him a few bills. When he went to make her change, she made sure he knew that he was to keep it as a tip and thanked him. Andy was supposed to be meeting her mother for coffee, although from the looks of things she hadn’t made it yet. She took the initiative to sit her slender frame in one of the booths that occupied the floor space of the mostly empty cafe.
Taking a careful sip of the steaming coffee, Andy pulled her phone from the pocket of her hoodie. She had been almost certain that she had been running late herself, her mother should have been there by now. The time that shown on the screen of her cracked smartphone showed that she had been right. With a sigh, the girl clicked on her mother’s name and gave her a call.
“Hi Honey I’m so sorry!” Her mother answered without missing a beat. “I’m not sure I can make it for our coffee date after all. Things have gotten a little hectic at work. Can we reschedule for a dinner date instead? My treat!” Andy could tell by the commotion going on in the background of the call that her mother was indeed swamped at work.
“Yeah that’s fine. What’s going on over there anyway?” Andy asked. Her mother was one of the head nurses at Freeman medical center. Her work schedule often caused her to miss their mother daughter dates, but Andy never minded. Her mother’s strong work ethic was one of the things she loved about her. If it hadn’t been for the nature of what she wanted to talk to her mother about, she wouldn’t have insisted to meet today in the first place.
“We got someone emergency transported in this morning. He’s from a hospital a few towns over that couldn’t treat him. I can’t go into to much detail, but it has most of the doctors in a tizzy which means…” Andy could hear someone call her mother in the distance.
“I’m sorry sweetie, I have to go. I’ll text you later this evening!” Her mother said a brief goodbye and Andy followed suit. Their conversation would have to wait for another time.
Andy’s twin brother Owen had been a subject of a lot of thought and worry for Andy recently. His behavior had always been sort of...eccentric? But recently she had learned some things that put things about her brother into a different light, before confronting him about it Andy had planned to consult her mother.
They had chosen different paths in their lives, Andy had gone to college, she had worked hard for scholarships and she gave her all in archery. It had once appeared that Owen would do the same, and it had been likely that he would a full ride to a college a few states away based on his prowess playing baseball. However, that wasn’t the case. Owen had begun to change in a drastic way.
She didn’t have too much time to dwell on it now though. With her meeting with her mother postponed, she would have plenty of time to get some extra practice in before her evening classes. The girl chugged the rest of her coffee before giving a small smile and wave to the barista at the counter and exiting the shop. She made her way to the football field on campus where her archery practices were held.
