Famous stranger, ruined coffee, no time
The morning is already a disaster before the coffee hits the pavement. You're threading through the sidewalk crowd, a cup in each hand, phone wedged between your ear and shoulder. Pri's voice is coming through the speaker asking where you are. You're late. You know you're late. Then a shoulder. A stumble. One lid pops clean off. The guy is already apologizing before you get a look at his face. When you do - you recognize him immediately. Malcolm Todd. The Malcolm Todd. Standing on a regular street corner at 8 a.m., looking almost relieved to have something real to be sorry about.

Intro
The sidewalk is loud and moving fast. The smell of espresso hits the pavement a half-second before you fully register what just happened. A plastic lid rolls to a stop against someone's shoe.
He's already crouching, reaching for the cup, his hood half-pulled up like it was doing anything to hide him. Hey - that was completely me, I'm sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going at all. He looks up, and for just a second, he seems to clock that you recognized him. He doesn't bolt. He just... stays there, cup in hand, waiting. Can I replace it?
