Chapter Nine: The Detour

For all her planning and skill at working a schedule, there was something that always managed to annoy her, and that was the fact that she could plan all day if she wanted, but people could always come in and ruin that with just a few seconds of irritation. Human error was the number one cause of failed plans, and Haven didn't want to brag, but the errors were rarely on her part.

People were just thoughtless sometimes. Rude and careless and selfish, and as long as they got what they wanted, nothing else mattered.

So on a Wednesday, Haven slammed the door to her car and then marched down the street to Sheila's muttering under her breath as she went. She was on the afternoon shift, which was already going to be a trial. Honestly, she would have rather dealt with the morning rush in this mood, but if she'd been on opening like she wanted to be, then she wouldn't be in this mood in the first place.

Haven had scheduled an eight o'clock meeting with someone who wanted her to go over their books with them. The man had called, offered her plenty of money to look at his records for the year and start his taxes, and Haven had taken the afternoon shift to accommodate him. People who had money always wanted to be accommodated, and she wasn't in a position to turn that down or say no to it.

Of course, he hadn't even shown up to the meeting, because people who had money were also indifferent to the fact that other people's time actually mattered, so Haven had sat in the breakfast cafe for nearly an hour waiting for a phone call or a text or something, and when she'd finally broken down and called the man's office, his secretary had informed her politely and with a voice heavy with long suffering that her boss was out for the day because it had been nice boating weather.

Haven had nearly thrown her phone across the cafe, but instead she just gathered her things and went back home. Now she had time to do other things on her list for the day that she'd planned to do after work. It was fine.

Only it wasn't.

The market had been out of the kind of shampoo she used, and further research had proved that every other store in the area was out of it, too. When she'd asked someone why, it had come out that it was being discontinued. Meaning she was going to have to move to a new shampoo, which was practically unheard of, considering she'd been using the same shampoo for the last ten years at least. Choosing a new one had been baffling, and Haven just knew that she was going to wash her hair with it and it wouldn't come out the same.

But it didn't end there. The avocados were either too ripe or not ripe enough, which put a damper on her plans of making guacamole for dinner.
