As she pours the coffee into a mug, she takes pleasure in smelling the aroma of the just­brewed Ethiopian Harrar coffee. Vivian holds the coffee cup with two hands, leans back on the kitchen countertop, sips her coffee, and gazes across the room. Her mobile phone rings loudly, breaking the morning silence. Vivian reaches for her phone, spilling coffee on the kitchen countertop. She answers the call by speakerphone and smiles. VIVIAN KANE (into speaker) Dad. What a surprise. FATHER (over speaker) Honey, how could I not call? I wanted !"#$%#!&%#'()!#!"#*+)&#,"-#.#&.//,# anniversary. VIVAN KANE (into speaker) Thanks Dad. You’re too thoughtful. FATHER (over speaker) I’m so proud of you. Ten years at Galaxy Coffee. And, to think, your mother and I were so worried how you’d turn out. You’ve made us proud. VIVIAN KANE (into speaker) Being a marketing director at Galaxy is a far cry from my days waiting tables at Taffy’s, isn’t it? '"!#$ FATHER (over speaker) Sure is. When are you visiting us again? Boston isn’t a bad place. It’s not Seattle, but it’s still your home. Vivian looks at the kitchen clock. It reads 5:45 AM. She reacts frantically. VIVIAN KANE (hurriedly) Dad, I gotta go. Gonna be late to work on my anniversary day. Can’t let that happen. Don’t worry. I’ll be home to watch a Red Sox game with you soon. Vivian ends the call, hangs up the phone and dashes out of the kitchen to get ready for a busy workday.
