(Sequel to "The Guy at the Café")
(New Cover Art!)
{Lams Coffee Shop AU}
You're there every morning before me in the seat on the left two tables away. Why must you always stay only two tables away? I was once a strict man with my only goal in mind...
Hey! Here's the New Years Special from last year in "The Guy at the Café." This time from Alexander's POV! (The pen is shown above!)
December 31st / January 1st
I'm at a party the Schuylers are hosting for New Years.
It took some convincing for me to go (I could be writing right now!) but I agreed to stay for at least two hours.
Now about an hour later I'm sitting relaxed with a glass of champagne and I'm starting to considering staying a bit longer than I planned.
I look down at the notebook I brought with me. (What? If I can't write on my laptop, I might as well bring something to jot down notes in!)
I write down some notes for my article with a new fancy fountain pen.
After another glass of champagne and a dance with Eliza Schuyler, I'm standing with the rest of the party attendees as we watch the ball slowly drop down from the great window view of the apartment floor. (Yes they rented out the entire floor.)
10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!
Happy New Year!
Eliza kisses my cheek as we all cheer.
With a smile I pull out my phone and send a text to a new number I've only recently added to my contacts.
To John Laurens:
Happy New Year. And thanks for the pen.
P.S. This is the note with John's number he gave Alex:
