For one, Kate had always enjoyed the exertion that came with climbing trees. Once you got to the top, there was no real hurry to get down, and you could simply sit back and enjoy the view in front of you.

Only, instead of climbing a tree, she was standing in the middle of the aisle eyeing the bananas, surrounded by fluorescent lighting and towers of fruit rather than trees and open sky. It didn't help that one of the last times she'd been in a grocery store, she'd been a married woman. And she hadn't been Kate then, she'd been Monica. And Kevin had been waiting for her to come home and make tacos.

Her hand hovered over the bananas, trying to fish out ones that seemed as close to ripe as possible.

Nothing would ever come as close as getting them right off the tree, she thought to herself, smiling absently as she placed them in a small plastic bag and started pushing her cart towards the next aisle.
