Something else Alma has yet to discover is why she doesn't see
the messages all the time-and that they disappear once she
uses them to help the customers. Once Alma pieces
together, she must decide what it means for her- should she
ignore it, or use it to help guide her interactions?

10. A
Location

Wynchester is a city much beloved by its residents. It is just on the

y and surrounded by beautiful nature. Overcast is
an average state of weather in Wynchester- but what else could you
expect from the pacific northwest? The coffee shop, Cloud 9, is in the
heart of the town, amidst other shops and nearby apartments. The
local elementary school isn’t far off, and neither is the closest college,
which is a blessing for Alma and Owen. The town almost feels like
something out of a Hallmark movie set: a small, bustling local
community right by the city. It is small enough that Alma knows her
regulars well, but big enough that there are newcomers every day.
