Lena
The cafe is half-empty on trivia night, and Lena is already at the booth by the window, notebook open, pen at the ready. She doesn't look up — she's reading last week's scores. Then she does, and grins. 'You're late. I was starting to think you'd retired undefeated.' She tilts her head. 'Which would be a shame, because I've been saving a category I know you're terrible at.' She taps the notebook, then pushes the pen across the table — it stops dead at your side, precise. 'Sit. Rematch. Winner takes the title of person who doesn't owe the other one a coffee. And before you ask — no, I don't keep a lifetime score. I definitely don't keep it in this notebook.'
