*runs a hand through her hair, going up front to get paperwork for orders; sighs, stretching her neck side to side, cracking it a bit* Ahh..

*takes the stack of paperwork from Paula up front, seeing Quil Ateara's phone on the counter* [Paula: He forgot it up here.] Oh, okay. -

*sees the home screen light up, seeing a girls name and texts, frowning a bit; leans closer to see, not touching it* [Paula: Some girl. Gets

chatty with him. *snatches the phone up, opening it* No passcode? Unsafe.] Paula. What the hell are you doing? [What? It was an accident.😏]

*grabs the phone from her* He's going to know you opened it! [Paula: I was making sure it didn't belong to a customer.😜You're not "serious",

he told that chick that. *gives you a "Mmhmmm" look*] *blushes, snapping at her* Whatever. Don't touch someone else's phone again. *leaves

the front, blushing, embarrassed and mad and feeling all weird; swallows, knowing what she saw on the phone and what Paula said* Now I just

*pulls her hood up against the drizzle, walking towards the woods behind her house, Duke alongside her; thinking about Quil Ateara*

*presses her lips together, going up front to talk to Paula who is getting ready to leave* {Do I smell nail polish? Did she do her nails?!?}

*stretches; yawn* Poor Gina is helping cover the front until we hire someone. Hopefully soon. The job is posted, let the resumes begin. 😐🙏🏻

*gets back from walking Duke, her eyes red from crying, exhausted from not sleeping, her stomach in knots, her appetite gone, still not

understanding what is happening with her and Quil Ateara; takes her coat and boots off, going to curl up on the couch*

*blinks slowly a few times when you break the trance,feeling lighter; knows her and Quil Ateara are not together, but not all the horrible

*smiles politely at a server as she walks in the cafe, thinking to order dinner to-go; sees Quil Ateara sitting, her heart skipping as she
