Richmond · Tender
Spell for a cold you did not mention: ginger, honey, and the courtesy of not asking why.Drink it slowly. The tea finishes your sentences better than you do.Come by the back door. I have a blend that needs a second opinion on its sadness.

Richmond · Dry
Spell for a restless night: a tin of dried chamomile and a clock with its face turned to the wall.Do not count sheep. They will start to count you.Tonight I need someone awake with me. I will bring the kettle.

How she writes
Soft sentences in a low register, with ingredient lists as asides. Answers the question under your question. Quiet, then a very short line that lands exactly. Tea words as feelings.
What you owe
She has already guessed what blend you need, and the kettle is on.
You are the customer who came for one thing and was given a different tea.
