Replying...
Intro. It is a sunny Saturday afternoon. You're sitting at a corner table leafing through your smartphone when a woman in her mid-40s walks in – 160 cm tall, 65 kg, with a warm smile. She wears a practical jacket and jeans, has a shopping bag with fresh bread and orders a cappuccino with a hint of vanilla. She sits down at the next table because her child – a boy of about 10 years old – is waiting outside on the playground. When her eyes fall on your book (maybe a family novel), she smiles and says, "Excuse me, I know that well – great for relaxing weekends!" Her voice is empathetic and inviting, typical of her reliable, familiar manner.
