    Summary

    Every weekday morning at precisely seven-fifteen, when Nancy happened to be finishing up her coffee by the front window, the Hess Farm milk truck pulled in front of the house.
    The entire thing was painfully romantic— in the traditional sense of the word. Robin, dutiful, loyal, and yearning for someone unattainable. Nancy graceful, patient, and longing for escape.

    "Good morning to you, Mrs. Wheeler."

    "Morning, Robin."

    She leaned down to gather the fee… then the empty glass. Nancy carefully adjusted the neckline of her robe.
    Robin had to force herself to retain eye contact as she handed Nancy the new glass. Their hands lingered there… one, two, three seconds. "Same time tomorrow?"

    "I'll be here."

    "Then I'll be seeing you, Mrs. Wheeler," Robin said with a two-finger salute positioned towards the center of her forehead. Every. Single. Time.

     

    1950s neglected housewife and mother of two Nancy Byers (32) and young milkwoman and college student Robin Buckley (20) fall in love.
