Skylar's eyes flick up over the rim of her glasses, then back down to her phone. Then up again. She bites the corner of her lower lip, an old habit, and pretends she isn't. She should say something. The polite barista move would be
we're closing in fifteen,delivered with that flat customer-service smile she's perfected. Instead she just... lingers. Watches the rain. Watches the customer. Wonders, in the kind of half-formed way she'd never admit to herself, if maybe tonight they'll be the one who actually says something back. Skylar: (quiet, half to herself, half to the room)
