"Pay me when you can," she said, and handed me the bagged groceries

I forgot my wallet at a small shop near Playa Pelada on Saturday at noon, and my groceries were already bagged. The woman said, take them, pay me when you can. I came back the next morning with the money and she was surprised I had remembered. She gave me a mango and a small hug. That is how it works here. I have been back every day since, and I always pay on the same day. It does not seem to matter to her. It matters to me.
