  Summary

  Simon makes coffee. He’s not great with the customers, but that’s fine. He’s working on it. And if he starts taking more shifts in hopes that the cute teacher who doesn’t know how to shut up comes in again, then that’s his own business.

  Summary

  “Why are you so worried about this? It’s just a guy.”
  It’s a valid question. It’s, in all honesty, a good question. It’s also one Grace doesn’t really have a good answer to. He could wax poetic about Simon’s eyes, the warm brown hiding a kindness he wants to get to know. He could tell Rocky that when he laughed he wanted to hear the sound for the rest of his days. He could ramble on about the way he could see his biceps clench through his long sleeve shirt as he made Grace’s drink.
  He could. But that would be freaking insane, because he had spoken to him for less than ten minutes and didn’t even know the man’s last name.
