I'll be back in about an hour.

Why don't you go downstairs to the continental breakfast?

It's very nice.

I'll see you in a little.

Flow?

Florence.

Flo, it's Eva May.

Hello?

Hello.

My name is Eva Mae Sanders.

Florence and I were best friends growing up.

She used to live here and looked like her, I just saw.

Please, come in.

Florence, sweetheart, this is your old friend, Eva May.

Hi, Flo.

We used to go to school dances together, and we'd have sleepovers, remember?

Your dad would always yell at us for being too loud.

If you'd have been here a year ago, she'd remember.

She talked about you often.

It's been so long.

We completely lost touch.

Hi, Melma.

We have been married twenty five years.

What happened to Luther?

Oh, they divorced him less than five years.

I'm not surprised.

He was a son of a bitch.

Sorry.

No worries.

Florence would completely agree with you.

We moved in here about twenty years ago after her mom passed.

It's nice to have you here.

I think it's really good for her even though it may not seem like it.

Oh, I think it's good for both of us that I'm here.

Would you like a cup of tea or some coffee?

Coffee would be nice.

Two sugars.

I'm gonna get Evan Mason coffee.

You two sit here and catch up.

I I see you're still dressed in baby blue.

That was always your favorite color because it matched your eyes.

You even had a baby blue bicycle.

We used to ride up to the soda fountain on Bar Street, and we'd walk slowly past the bars and try and peek inside.

And then we'd make funny faces until they yelled at us.

Yours was, And I would do, no.

No.

It was more like, who?

Those were our standard funny faces.

I was just reminding Florence of the funny faces we used to make.

I know about those faces.

You do?

Mhmm.

There is a photo in one of Florence's albums of the two of you.

I think you were about 10 years old making those faces for the camera, yeah?

You know, as a matter of fact, see let's see.

My.

Might as well keep it.

I I I can't get Florence to look at photos anymore.

Well, thank you.

When we graduated, I couldn't wait to get out of this Podunk town.

I didn't realize all the good things I had going for me here, like your friendship.

Nana.

Oh, that's my granddaughter.

I should be going.

Thanks for the coffee.

Nana.

I'm here, Stephanie.

I'll be right there.

Thanks again for the photo.

Thank you, Flo, for the memories.

It was so nice seeing you again.

I should have come decades ago.

Who is that?

An old friend.

Hey, how did you get here?

An Uber.

A what?

A taxi, Nana.
