There were two customers in the cafe.

Sam was busying herself with serving them coffee.

Luca suddenly barging in had scared her out of her wits.

“Oh.” She finally remembered. “Seafood? It completely slipped my mind!”

“I figured.” Luca set the food down on the counter. “Eat it while it’s still hot. Those don’t taste good cold.”

Sam opened the container to find it overflowing with food.

“Hey, Luca? I can’t finish this by myself. Why don’t we eat it together?”

“I already ate.” He waved her off. “That’s all yours. Take your time with it.”
