As soon a she walked in I saw it. Bag, black, artificial leather purse haphazardly stuffed, and a book in her hand. With an unexpressed melancholy look on her face, she proceeded to the counter. After placing her order, which I did not hear, she moved to the receiving end of the counter. Upon doing so, I could read the title of her book. Grey.
