Polpetta wrote about the café's long day. Mia laid the tables and Mia lit the candles. Later, Sofia told Nonna the news, and she was pleased. The chefs arrived early, and them started the bread.

Echoes, wrong teams, a singular for a plural, and one she that nobody can pin down. One little word is already perfect.
