Same smile. Right name.
The cafe calls Deb Linda. She answers for three weeks because she likes being recognised and worries that correcting the name will spoil it. When she finally says something, the next morning's greeting is 'Morning, Deb. Your usual?' The coffee and the welcome remain familiar. This standalone Rosie and Deb Short keeps the awkward admission and the small, reassuring outcome together.
