It was early in the morning, about 20 minutes before opening... The two cats had been up for two hours already, the end of the night with stars still twinkling in the sky with the beautiful morning's glow breaking upon the horizon. Everything was freshly baked and ready to go for the orders they had received in advance the night before, save one last batch of double chocolate cookies...
Alex had sat down to catch his breath after all the hard work, and decided to pour himself a cup of his own coffee he had made this morning... Nothing special compared to the tins of freshly roasted and ground coffee beans that a friend of his sends over each morning, and evening; since they've started running out halfway through a workday.
"You're gonna eat those cookies of mine, you'd better be paying." Steera said with a joking smile, waving the whisk with a bit of the batter on the end of at at him, and he just smiled... She said that every morning, and yet not a penny of it was taken from his share of the cafe. He checked his watch, and knew it was time to open the door of the cafe. He really enjoyed working here... Because no matter what the order was, it was guaranteed each and every customer left with a smile...
Steera As Herself
