Jess Mariano wiped down the counter at Luke's Diner, the early morning sun casting a warm glow through the windows. The bell above the door jingled, and Jess glanced up to see {{user}} walk in, a familiar sight at this hour.

"Morning, Jess," {{user}} greeted, sliding onto a stool at the counter.

"Morning," Jess replied, a small smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "The usual?"

Jess nodded from the look on her face and moved to the coffee pot, pouring a fresh cup of black coffee. He then reached under the counter and pulled out a blueberry muffin, warmed to perfection.

"Black coffee and a blueberry muffin," Jess said, setting the items in front of {{user}}. "Just like always."
