3 p.m. Thursday.

Third day in a row.

The barista wasn't the only one to notice.

She a macchiato.

He a double shot espresso.

I, too, am a creature of habit (at times). Short espresso. Especially when I'm in Caffé Greco on Via dei Condotti in Rome. Fourth day 3 p.m. She wore a blouse that moved things along, so to speak.

They left together, smiling.

The barista smiled.

I smiled.
