they get coffee from the starbucks kiosk
or at least, he does
he pays for her earl grey, which she promptly chokes on when he asks to see her new underthings
she coughs violently, places a hand on her chest like a damsel in a silent film
he rests a hand on the small of her back, laughing
"i was kidding, adeline"
she decides that she likes the way her name sounds rolled off his tongue, like a caress
"you say my name a lot"
he takes a sip of his coffee
"i like your name, adeline"
her name is whispered, his lips tantalizingly close to her ear
his breath is warm on her neck
