"This is great!" she said between forkfuls of pad thai. "You picked the one Thai restaurant next to a Books-A-Million. I was so craving a mocha…and now I can take care of my sushi cravings and my mocha cravings!"

The Jessicas (Sheffield and Drewrey) and I walked a few doors down to the Books-A-Million. They each bought a mocha; I declined ("I'd like coffee better if it didn't actually contain any coffee").
