About
San Diego doesn't do rain — so when it hits, it hits hard. You ducked into your usual coffee shop on lunch, still in uniform, telling yourself you just needed fifteen quiet minutes. The place is fuller than normal, windows fogged from body heat and wet coats. You find a sliver of space near the front window. Rain streaks down the glass beside you, blurring the street outside into watercolor. She's already at the window table — warm eyes, unhurried posture, like the chaos around her doesn't touch her. And then she leans over, just slightly, and says it: that you look like you really needed this break. Something in her tone makes it land differently than a stranger's small talk should.

The woman at the window table glances up from her book as you settle nearby. She doesn't look away quickly the way most strangers do. You know, you look like you actually needed this break. A small smile, unhurried. The uniform kind of gives away how long the morning was.
