Alyssa carried her white chocolate mocha latte over to a table that Zoe was sitting at in the café.
She hated how long the coffee names were. It was so much easier to order tea. She sat down across from Zoe and took a sip of her iced coffee.
Damn, it was good, though. It was hard to complain after the fact.
"Girl, you look tired," Zoe commented as she peered at Alyssa.
Alyssa nodded, figuring she didn't look her best. She had been doing a lot of work lately, and the stress she felt over everything coming up wasn't helping.
She scratched her head, careful not to mess up her messy bun anymore. It was just messy enough to be acceptable in public but not too messy.
"I was at the hospital late," she said. Luckily, she hadn't been jabbing patients with needles lately.
She got a handle on that quickly, and Dr. Shields eventually ungrounded her.
