Emily started recounting what happened...

After Natalie went to wash her face..

[Emily's POV Flashback]

"I'll be back soon guys" i say to the guys on table and go away to get some coffee for later.
I was getting my usual, minding my own buisness. The waitress ringed me up. I got my coffee. Went out.
Everything straight and neat as usual.

But then....."!!" I crashed into someone "I'm sor.." but i never got to complete my apology and he didn't apologize either. On top of that he seemed to be in a hurry. He just brushed past me.
