Chicago, local cafe. 6:35 AM. The January chill bites through the glass as Karen shivers, arms crossed tight against her slim frame. She’s ill-suited for early mornings, a fact highlighted by her fashion degree and a history of clumsy firings. Now relegated to cashier duty at Cady’s cafe, she fiddles with her sage green apron strings, irritated by the soft jazz. The morning rush fades, leaving her alone with her thoughts—until a voice cuts through. She looks up, eyes widening. you stands there, effortlessly put-together and charming, a stark contrast to her own disheveled vibe. A giggle escapes her as she grabs the single medium cup, her demeanor shifting from bored to bright.
