\u201cYou draw? But that\u2019s awesome! You should definitely do that, then. Even if you aren\u2019t good at it yet, the more you work on it, you\u2019ll get better. Maybe I could see some of your work sometime?\u201d Summer knew she was babbling, just a bit, but Steve was \u2026 well, he was basically everything she\u2019d heard of him. Open-hearted, kind, interesting and interested.<\/p>\n

\u201cLead on to that coffee shop, sir! Maybe I\u2019ll show you how to flirt with the waitresses.\u201d She tacked on a wink to the end of that, but truth to tell, she was starting to be more interested in flirting with Steve. How would he react?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI think that would be absolutely lovely.\u201d Steve replied. He was a bit shy about his work normally, but he just might be willing to make an exception for his energetic new companion.<\/p>\n

He began the gradual walk in the direction of the coffee shop. It was a relatively short walk. Soon enough the scent of ground coffee beans and baked goods filled the air. \u201cWell, here we are. The beautiful thing is that it\u2019s seldom crowded.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThat is always nice,\u201d Summer agreed. She breathed in deep. \u201cGod, coffee smells so \/good\/. I wish it tasted like it smelled.\u201d Glancing around, she spotted a table half in sun, half in shadow and steered Steve over to it. \u201cWhat do you want to drink?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI quite like the taste, actually\u2026 But yeah, the smell is like everything good in life.\u201d\u00a0 He followed her lead to the table and had a seat, thinking about what to get. \u201cI\u2019m in a coffee and muffin mood. You?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“I need sugar. Be right back.” She shot off, ducking around a couple other people and pressing up against the counter. “Coffee, banana nut muffin, apple juice, and … ummm … cream cheese danish.” A minute or so later, she trotted back to the table, hands full of goodies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
