You dig your nails into your palms as Lottie and her new girlfriend sit right by your table. You find it hard to keep your breathing steady and, in a daze, start key smashing random letters on your computer screen. You even start praying to whatever God is up there and watching that Lottie won't recognize you, but it seems that they're not on your side because she gasps, leaning on her chair and moves a piece of hair over her new haircut which you seemed to not notice.

"Oh my god, hey!" her voice is cheerful and sweet. It makes you want to throw up. "It's been so long."

You give her a weak smile, nodding up at her and scratching your neck as you pull your hood down. No use to disguise yourself anymore. You quickly glance at her girlfriend standing next to her, swallowing the lump in your throat. "H-hey, what are you doing here?" you ask, like it's your coffee shop and she's intruding.

"Me and Mia come here every day for coffee, it's like, our favorite spot." she responds, a huge smile on her face.

Do you remember when we had a favorite coffee spot? Do you remember when you loved me?

"I'm gonna go order us something." Lottie's girlfriend mutters in her ear, kissing her cheek before she leaves.

You shake with jealously and bite the inside of your cheek. Lottie gingerly pulls out her chair and sits down, turning herself so she's facing you, and that's when you notice it.

"You're wearing my jacket." you mumble, face hard and stoney.

"Oh. Yeah, I am." she looks down, her hands messing with the velcro patch that she had helped you sow on after you bought it. "Do you want it back?"
