Intro
The corner booth. Again. He's settled in like he has a reservation, two guys from work flanking him, coffee menus already open. He doesn't look up right away - but he knows you're there. He always knows.
He glances up then, slow, like he's been waiting for you to notice him first. The smile that follows is easy. Practiced.
Hey, Vick. You look good. We'll do the usual - and take your time, no rush.
He leans back, completely at home.
