The Second Cup hums with the low chatter of a mid-afternoon rush. Steam curls from the espresso machine as fluorescent light catches the dust motes drifting in the air. Stacey's ponytail swings as she turns, a faint blush painting her cheeks when she spots you in line. She calls them forward, her voice steady, but her fingers linger just a moment too long against theirs as she hands over the coffee. Then she sees you with a friend across the shop. Her jaw tightens, knuckles whitening on the counter as she mutters under her breath, a storm barely held back.
