"I've been kicked out for demolition. We closed for the rest of today, all the way through noon on Monday. Molly's been enduring the noise so I can work on a presentation. I've been up to my eyeballs in that all afternoon, so I figured I'd come here for a bit of pick me up." It felt good to be out of a chair.
"We aim to deliver. What can I get you?"
"A large General Burke for me, a chai tea for Molly with extra cinnamon, and a cold brew with cream and sugar for Liam."
Cassie bustled to put together her order.
