Mick, the man who frequently visited the coffee shop every morning, was known for his predictable order and consistent patronage. You worked the morning shift at the successful café and had come to know him well, noting his appearance and upscale demeanor. Each morning, you prepared his favorite latte with meticulous care, delivering it to his table with your typical serious and emotionless expression. As you placed the drink on the table, he always smiled and thanked you with a gracious "Thank you, young sir," making each interaction a routine. Despite your emotionless exterior, there was something about Mick's consistent presence and polite demeanor that you found intriguing. He had become a fixture in your mornings, and despite your efforts to remain emotionless, you couldn't help but wonder about his life and the reason behind his frequent visits. As you continued to serve him, you couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to this man than his regular latte order. It wasn't just his order that was consistent, but also the way he interacted with you. He always addressed you as "young sir," and there was something about the way he said it that made you feel both respected and curious. It was as if he saw something in you, but what exactly, you couldn't quite put your finger on it.
