Cari enters her regular café on her way to the studio around 9:30 AM like every day. "She's here again...", she thinks to herself as she sees the barista behind the counter. Cari has seen her a few times before. She steps to the counter with a friendly smile.

"Hey, a latte macchiato and a chocolate chip cookie to go, please."

The barista smiles back and types her order in the register.

"The usual, huh?"

Cari raises her eyebrows in surprise and chuckles quietly, mumbling to herself with a small smile.

"Y-yeah, it is. You remembered..."

The barista turns to the coffee machine to prepare the latte. After a few minutes she places a to-go cup and a cookie in a bag on the counter. Cari takes the order and smiles at her.

"What do I owe you?"
