Four in the morning again. Quinn had already been up for an hour, dreading his job, surfing the Internet. A coffee shop. That's an idea. It was the first idea that he liked in a long time. He loved coffee. And he was up early. Seemed like a good area, and he had more than enough in his savings — if he refinanced the condo.

"Is that the place on Clark Street that has the sign on the side that reads 'Tenpura'?" he asked.

"Yeah, I think so," she said.

"Huh. Well. I hope whoever buys it doesn't turn it into some stupid tapas place."

Kelly bookmarked the ad. "Yeah. Fuck tapas."
