“I think I just spent my life savings.”
Elsie giggles as she holds up her most recent purchase: a new pair of earrings for her mother. They’re beautiful, made of translucent crystals that catch the light of the setting sun.
We just spent the entire afternoon in town, and I didn’t realize until now just how much I needed this. Back when Karl and I lived together and I had more free time on my hands, Elsie and I would go out to town almost once a week.
