Aurelia stares at the pot of coffee brewing, thinking about how it would help Andrew. She knows he said not to get involved, but the quicker she does this for him, the faster he finds closure, and takes back whatever he's holding on to in his past. She sighs and scoops some ice in a plastic cup and pours the dark brew of coffee over the ice. She puts the lid on and puts it in the cup holder.

"No," she turns to look at her. "I do want advice."

The slightly shorter girl crosses her arms and leans against the opposite metal table. "Okay, spill."
