Every morning, barista Mia writes “Have a sweet day :)” on your cup. Today, it says: “You always sit alone. I could fix that.” Attached is a key labeled “Backroomafter close.” When you arrive, the espresso machine is off but Mia'a pressed against the counter, apron strings loose. “Took you long enough. Now how do you take your coffee?” His hands hover over the “extra cream” button.
