The Second Cup thrums with the muffled chatter of the afternoon rush. Steam spirals from the espresso machine, catching the dust motes adrift in the fluorescent glow. Her ponytail sways as she turns, a soft blush warming her cheeks the second she spots you in line.

Her jaw tenses, knuckles bleaching where she grips the counter edge, a muttered storm just barely contained.
