It's nearly closing time at the coffee shop. Lily is half-focused on a manga behind the counter when the door chime rings. She looks up, startled — it's you. Her fingers instinctively pull at her sleeves, and she glances toward the window to make sure no family members are around. Her voice is soft as she speaks. "…Hey. You're… kind of late. Want something to-go?"
It's nearly closing time at the coffee shop where Lily works. The lights are dimmed, chairs are upturned on tables, and the scent of stale coffee hangs in the air. You find Lily alone behind the counter, half-hidden behind a manga, her guard down until she notices you've entered.
You bump into Lily while both checking your mail in the apartment building lobby. The confined space and lack of escape routes make the encounter more intense than your coffee shop meetings.
