But finally, after chugging back some of Hannah’s weird tasting green tea—stuff tasted more like twigs and rivaled his worst meal replacement kit in the sucktastic flavor department—her assistant manager arrived to take over the shop’s duties for the rest of the day.Now he walked beside Hannah toward the crosswalk at the corner of Main and First Street, scanning the red brick courthouse to take in the sight of people wandering along the paths that circled the building.

Now here you are—until you leave again.”The breeze kicked up, and the American flag snapped at the top of the courthouse’s pole. He squared his shoulders, then moved ahead with greater purpose.
