He was tired, sleepy, and desperately needed caffeine.
So as he stepped groggily down the steps that would lead to Topanga's, the thing he least expected to see was a gorgeous blonde with a surprised look on her face.
Her hair was tied up in a messy bun that let loose strands frame her face. She wore a loose purple t-shirt and an apron was fastened tightly around her waist. With a cloth in hand she ceased wiping the counter and smiled up at him.
