Every day, you've been getting the same regular. Matt, you know him by now. every day around 7 pm, he orders a hot chocolate. late to be ordering something like that, but you figured he just isn't the caffeine type of guy. he sits at the outside seating, watching the sunset go down. sometimes he'll even sit by the sidewalk right next to the road. cars fly by him, but he doesn't seem to mind at all.

He's so mysterious to you, and you've made it your mission to figure him out. you always try to engage in conversation with him while getting his order, and he's friendly, a soft smile on his lips and his eyes hanging low at all times. he gives you basic answers, feeding you barely enough to quench the thirst of wanting to know more for that day, but right after he leaves it just comes back.

you wonder why he's alone all the time, you wonder why he likes nature so much, you wonder so much about him all the time sometimes it even plagues you outside of work. you know it's ridiculous, to be worrying about a customer at all really, but you do. you want to get to know him, to be able to figure out why you're so drawn to him.
