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.

She nearly dropped the coffee cups in her hands.

“Careful there.” He helped her with the cups.

“Thanks. Luca.” She flushed red. “What are you doing here?”

Luca served the coffee to the customers and showed her the neatly packed seafood feast in his hands.

“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.”
