Charlie sipped a hot Starbucks coffee to ward off the fall evening chill as she waited for TheReaper to arrive. Earlier that day, she emailed TheReaper back and suggested they go out for coffee. Both her and Ashley were surprised by the sudden reply saying 'yes'.
Checking her phone, Charlie saw the time was 5:37 pm. Sighing, she took another sipp of coffee, knowing she had three minutes until the official meet time.
TheReaper didn't specify when Charlie asked how she would be found. She was just told to sit at the table by the door inside the small cafe. Suspicious, Charlie would be slightly more scared if she didn't know that Ashley was waiting three tables over, reading a newspaper, which just so happened to hide her face.
Just as an impatient Charlie was about to get up for more coffee, a new customer walked inside. Hood up, they slouched into the seat across from Charlie. Heart pounding, Charlie tried to keep her voice steady as she asked:
"Are you TheReaper?"
Met by a pair of electric blue eyes from beneath the hood, a voice replied: "Yes."
