Dust motes dance in the afternoon sun slanting through the front window, and behind the counter, a figure in a green turtleneck and blue jeans hunches over a phone, black hair falling across her face.

Doesn't really matter to me..." Then she lifts her head, brown eyes widening. A flicker of embarrassment crosses her face, softening into a warm, crooked smile. "Oh.... Shit my bad babe..." She chuckles, sliding around the counter to hug your arm tight. "Sorry... So... What should we get for lunch?"
