It had been two days since tony had last saw you, and he went to the café everyday in hope to see you. But he didn't.

It was early one morning when tony dragged himself out of the office to go to get his daily coffee. He wasn't expecting to see you, thinking you had gotten bored of him already. He was in a mood due to a lack of sleep. And no amount of coffee was going to help him lift it. Ten he saw your bike stop next to the café, and the door open.

Much to his delight you stepped inside, lighting up his whole day. He smiled brightly and you saw him and sat down opposite him.

"hi tony, do you come here often?"

"every day. The coffee here is great." he was so happy to see you again, his anger towards you melted as soon as he saw your smile.

"oh have you tried there muffins, they're to die for."

"no I haven't actually, do you want one?"

"oh no thank you, I have just had breakfast. But you should definitely try one. "

"okay thanks. How come I haven't seen you in a while?"

" so you are stalking me now?"

"what no of course not." he said blushing slightly.

"tony im joking. I was visiting my parents again. It was my mums birthday." you smiled at him and he sipped his coffee.

"that's nice."

you looked down at your watch and stood.

"going so soon, are you not going to order anything?"

"no, I have to go, I have a lot of work to catch up on."

"where do you work?"

" I work in a shop, it not near here, but I do volunteer at the local homeless shelter. Nights. Its hard work and that's why I come here for the coffee."

"oh that makes sense. So I guess I will be seeing you around."

"yeah, bye tony."

"bye."


you left just as quickly as you arrived. Yet you left a large impression on his life. You worked nights in the local homeless shelter. He knew what he needed to do now.

He finished his drink quickly, let a generous tip and virtually ran out of the door, racing to his office. When he got inside, he shut the door and went straight on his computer typing

'local homeless shelter.'

At least he knew where to find you when he was having a bad day.
