The chilly air once again made you want to bring your arms around yourself, clutching your briefcase and flexing your unoccupied hand's fingers, those of which you could feel numbing within your gloves. Nights were getting much colder lately than you could anticipate, leading to rather uncomfortable walks to your apartment after work to accompany your usual uncomfortable and methodical days, winter felt like it was just making things harder for you once again.

Though now you were walking to your girlfriend, Reno's café and dual living space, that came with the comfort of knowing you weren't returning to a cold apartment and rather, the atmosphere of that coffee shop you adored.. and Reno too, you suppose.

Your hand went up to push down the door handle, the soft noise of the bell ringing above your head and the warm air of the indoor space greeting you consolingly, helping you release that breathe you didn't realize you were holding.

"Look who it is." A familiar voice spoke, making you glance to the counter, where Reno usually stood, leaning on her elbows with that self-satisfied smirk. "Your laptop better not be in that briefcase, I'm not letting you do any work tonight." Reno hummed, prancing over to greet you, a plate in her hand with a slice of cake you recognized from the bakery you two stopped at sometimes. She kissed you on the cheek, leaning back and doing a little curtsey with her Leblanc apron. "For you, hardest worker and probably most stressed out person in the world- I've prepared a night centered around just letting go of everything and taking a breather. Starting with this." She tilted her head with a gentle smile, offering the plate out to you.
