“Amends” by Sandra Claros

The gossipmonger poured the soda almost leaning on the table, revealing her large breasts.  The stranger, who was not blind, simply looked at them, without saying a single word.  He just sat there, staring at the door, waiting for someone to enter the room - impatiently, he raised his head every moment, forcing their arrival with thought.  He got distracted a little with the napkin holder on the table, putting the coat rack on and off.  Suddenly, the black metal door opens.  And Cecilia enters - wearing a tight-fitt...
