Sweaty palms soak my cellphone and paper change as I read Holly's last text once more. 

"hey im gonna be a little lateso just hpld on"

My face burns, and it's not just from wearing a mask on a hot day like this. I'm aggravated! Holly has really been getting on my nerves. What could be making her even later than she would have been if she has just went to the correct rental car place, if that was even what happened? I clap my phone shut with extra force, causing the cashier to glance worriedly in my direction. 

So I decided to give in and just by the donuts, and now I'm sitting in here with the box like an idiot. There's no way I'm going back to my car; it's way too hot. I might as well just go home if Holly keeps me waiting any longer. 

Before I go, though, I could use a cold beverage. "You know what?" I say to the cashier, standing up. "Let's add an iced Americano to that. Thank you."

What's keeping her from being on time? Seriously. I can't imagine what would make Holly... almost half an hour late. Wait -- it's been that long? This is ridiculous; I'm having a donut.
