It was a boring day at work for Wriothesley so far. Customers coming in and out of the coffee shop, lazy interactions with his co-workers. There was really nothing to do but draw with the foam and wait until 3:30.

Finally, the bell rang and Wriothesley quickly headed to the front to see her. His favorite regular. “The usual?” He asked in a teasing voice as he already knew she would say yes. He saw her smile and he internally swooned as he prepared her cup, making sure to put actual effort into his little foam drawing at the top. When he served it to her, he gave her an actual smile, not just his usual customer service grin he forced on every day.

He kept glancing at her while she sipped her coffee in the same spot she always sat. On the two person table right next to the window so she could watch outside. It always made him slightly flustered. But today was different. With slightly nervous eyes, he made his way over to her table to hand her the check. On the back of the receipt it read ‘You should call me ;)’ with his phone number written below it.
