He knew the barista. Of course he did. Bree didn't feel overly bad for not knowing anyone here, herself; she barely knew anyone on campus. Just professors and a few other people in her major. She wasn't good at faces. Or names. And she was rarely in a coffee shop, for obvious reasons.
His regular sounded aptly named as a 'heart attack in a cup,' but also sounded like it would taste terrible. Toffee nut AND raspberry?
She already knew she was going to steal a sip when he wasn't looking. You couldn't dangle something that terrible in front of her and not expect her to go for it. And a single sip of caffeine wouldn't hurt her in the least.
Bree smelled sharpie, weirdly strong, overwhelming the smell of coffee that always permeated this sort of place. She assumed it was the marker, but it had already been capped. Why was she smelling it now? Her nose twitched in displeasure. And why was it so damn strong? Ugh. It wasn't just sharpie, either, it smelled like someone had rubbed basil or something vaguely green--
She remembered, briefly, the bizarre smell of olive oil on the card he'd given her at the library. The way the weed had permeated her nostrils after he'd hidden it. Her eyes narrowed as she followed him towards the end of the counter. With no real warning, she stuffed her hand into his pocket, not bothering to be stealthy. She pulled out his wallet, taking advantage of what appeared to be mild befuddlement. Wallet was a loose term. It was either covered excessively with or entirely made from duct tape. She gave it a whiff, then wrinkled her nose.
Yep. Sharpie. She hoped her glare communicated that she knew what he'd done. She thought she knew what he'd done, mind--she didn't actually, but wanted her glare to be more sure of itself than she was. She wasn't going to make a scene right there in the store, because that would be extremely embarrassing and this was the only cafe on campus.
"You do know what happens to a worker when their drawer is short, right?" she asked, what passed for subtlety with her.
