Julianna continued to look close to diffident as he commended her on the shop. Eyes darted between his face and the counter top. She hadn’t felt like this when he was blocking the wind for her. When he was dropping quarters into her open palm. But that had been before he had invited her for coffee. Before he had reappeared in her shop.
Chuckles resonated behind closed lips as he mentioned the WiFi. The coffee and the muffins were fantastic, but the free internet access was decidedly the coffee house’s biggest draw. Curls bounced as if they were weightless when she shifted on her feet and watched the cadence of his knuckles on the counter. She cocked her head, but didn’t comment. Didn’t get the chance to before his hand was being pushed in her direction. She slid her own into it. Fingers lightly curving around the edge of his palm. Her hand looked small in his. She giggled again, before mumbling something about how it was nice to meet him too.
Retrieving her hand she hummed, looking at him momentarily before her gaze shifted upwards. “I guess…” she started, drawing out the ‘s’ in thought. “You would have to take me somewhere else then?” Her suggestion was paired with a coy smile and a light lift of her shoulders.
Maeve cleared her throat from the other side of the counter, drawing Julianna’s attention and reminding her that their were other people in the room. Jules’ attention had not been the intention behind the noise, as Maeve quickly addressed the third woman in the room. “Eden would you mind helping me in the back with someone?” The words were a heavy implication of a not so subtle gossip session that was about to take place back in the kitchen. With a pointed look to Julianna, she tried to display her displeasure to the petite owner before disappearing into the back of the store.
Puzzlement briefly clouded Jules’ features as she watched the other women walk off. Looking in the other direction she glanced at Harrison who had his back to her. “I’d recommend a piccolo latte,” she offered, turning at the waist slightly to point towards the menu. “It’s a ristretto shot with milk foam. Sort of like a mezzo-mezzo or a cataldo,” she said by way of explanation. As if the titles would mean something to someone who wasn’t a barista.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
