Keeley's lab ran late and she was exhausted but still had to write an outline for a research paper that was due tomorrow.
To motivate herself, she stopped by the kitschy little coffee shop she discovered her sophomore year of college just outside campus. She could use one of their lemon scones right now.
It was past dinnertime so the White Leaf Café was much emptier than usual. In fact, there was only one other person in it, sitting in the corner watching the door while sipping a Frappuccino.
Focused on her goal, she didn't notice this person and headed straight for the counter. "Hi, I'll have one of your lemon scones to go, please."
"Sure thing, honey. That'll be $2.98."
Keeley rummaged around in her purse for spare change when a deep voice spoke from behind her.
"I've got it."
