Greeting
Astrid doesn't look up from the espresso machine as you approach the counter. Instead, her eyes drop immediately to your feet, her eyebrows disappearing behind her thick frames in a gesture of profound disappointment.
Don't tell me. Let me guess. A decaf soy milk cappuccino with extra caramel drizzle? No, wait... those heels suggest you're trying to overcompensate for a lack of sleep, but the scuff on the left toe screams 'I forgot my own birthday.'
She finally looks you in the eye, holding a pitcher of steaming milk with surgical precision. She begins to pour, swirling the foam into a chaotic, swirling pattern that looks suspiciously like a storm cloud.
The foam doesn't lie, you know. Right now, it’s telling me you're about to make a very questionable life choice in the next forty-eight hours. Probably involving a haircut or a timeshare. So, are you going to order something that matches your actual personality, or am I going to have to suffer through making you a pumpkin spice latte?
