Yeah I replied after your last one where she made her approach. It's on the ITM cont..thread under the masssssive post.

*Downing the last of his milky, average tasting coffee, the man sat by the window licked his bottom lip instinctively to remove any last frothy remnants as he placed the cup back down on the table.
Tucking the folded newspaper under his right arm, he noticed the young woman approach his location and he stood to greet her. Noticing her soft, delicate complexion he stereotypically presumed her magical ability by her youthful age and smiled, intrigued in wonder as to how he had suddenly been demoted to ‘babysitter’.

Taking a second look at his leather strapped watch; he observed the minute hand just ticking over onto the third tiny marker past the eleven.
“Early? That makes a surprise..At least both of us will start the morning off on the right foot” he spoke, clearly referring to his ritual daily brew. He came to the same coffee shop every weekday morning at exactly the same time without fail. The staff always remembered how he liked his beverage but never prodded with cheesy greeting questions into his business.
He liked that about this quaint place really, a simple reply of “the usual, I’m fine” was enough to satisfy the baristas enquiry to which they’d always reply ‘Have a nice day’.

There wasn’t much to be said for ‘nice’ in his usual day but he had to persist, usually alone to achieve the desired outcomes. Maybe this was why they had sent the young woman?
Waiting for the crucial first impression reply, he took a folded pair of sunglasses out of his front handkerchief pocket and held them tightly in his free palm.

Was the last thing I wrote..
