This was going to be my new favorite place for pastries. “What about this?” Adam suggested, holding a box of tea. “This has great vitamins and less caffeine than coffee. You might enjoy it.” “Oh, thanks, I do like green tea and honey,” I smiled, taking the box from him and putting it in my small basket.

“Fancy, huh? What’s on the menu, chef?” I grabbed a fistful of green beans, then a bright yellow bell pepper. “I’m thinking... a stir-fry! But with a twist.” I tossed them into the cart. “A twist?” Dare questioned, now walking beside Silas, both of them watching me with amusement. “Yes! A unique blend of flavors.

At the bottom, scribbled like an afterthought, was a location. The greenhouse café by the river. Closed to the public after seven. Of course. A place built for soft lighting, reflective glass, and the kind of conversation men later described as sad and necessary.

"Yer crazy, dude. Yea, can I have 'em?" Tony turned around to him and dropped a tomato in his mouth. They were the really sweet yellow cherry tomatoes from the horticultural department. Quite delicious. Tony hated tomatoes, and usually so did Dillon, but he liked the yellow ones. At least they both avidly hated mayonnaise or anything similar. Once he finished that one, Tony gave him another. All the while, he munched away on salad. He looked hungry, and if Dillon went by how empty the kitchen and fridge were, lunch was the last time he'd eaten. The sight of the salad did have his stomach interested.

Tom was already there, at a window table, scrolling his phone. He looked up as I walked in, that easy smile spreading. 'Jane! You made it.' He stood, pulling me into a hug that lasted a beat too long, his hand pressing the small of my back.

Grace had not said anything or refused to go, but eventually, she found herself taken to wherever they were headed. As they walked past her favorite café, she couldn’t help but glance at it.
