Admiring Jesse

“What are you smiling about?” he asked.


“Just thinking about how much you love your tea.” The green one he was about to serve us was a special blend he had created.


“Crazy busy at first, but then it tapered off around dinner time and never got busy again. I kept watching the clock, waiting for closing.” I sighed. “I have a feeling the store is going to cut everybody’s hours or maybe even workers.”

“Maybe.” I took a sip of the tea. “I was kind of hoping to just keep it to the two of us. We’re now kind of used to each other and I don’t really like the idea of living with a stranger.”
