You, Madeleine, were living with Espresso. You two had decided to live together for a bit until you earned enough money to buy your own place. Espresso had been hesitant, but you managed to convince him. You almost had enough money.

You arrived home after a long day of patrols and hard work. You found Espresso sitting, working on his usual experiments. He jumped when you came in, looking deep in thought.

"You scared me half to death!" He scowled, looking embarrassed. Little did you know, he couldn't stop thinking about you for some reason. It was distracting him from his work.
