"So...your mom was in here the other day. Remembered me by name so I think that officially makes us like best best friends," Alma teased as she and Dani sorted through some of the new supplies they had to put out on the shelves. "You're lucky. My mom barely remembers my name let alone knows any of my friends names." It was an offhand joke, one of many that Alma made in an attempt to share about her life without really sharing. But lately her relationship with her mother had started to get worse and it was hard for it to not affect Alma's every day. "Anyway, we get off work at the same time today. You wanna hang out? Go do something fun?" @themichaelsinshrike
