Day 5.

I'm Back.
After the most amazing weekend of my life. I'm back to work wearing little forest green flats. And I couldn't be happier.
Friday was Sullivan.
Saturday was Sullivan.
Sunday was Sullivan.
And I thought I wouldn't get to see him again till Thursday. (He only works with Jack and me on Thursday.)

I was wrong.

Today was not going well. For some reason, Jack was in a sour mood. And he was the one making the majority of mistakes.
Lie. I made 12 mistakes more than Jack did today.
I'm surprised the fire department wasn't called. There was a bad mishap with the oven and both of us forgetting about some brownies.
Lie. Jack didn't even know there was brownies baking.
And then there was the problem with the drive-thru window. Jack made 6 extra drinks. I only called out 4.
Lie. I called out 5.

Then Sullivan came in. He was hidden behind a HUGE bouquet of bright yellow sunflowers. He asked me when I got off work.
"1 o'clock." I told him.
"Then we are going out at 1 o'clock." He smiled. I loved it. Sullivan only smiles when he's really happy. "Sound good?" He asked.

"Perfect." I told him.

And it was.

Total mistakes: 30
Total customers: 49
It was a busy day.

Tomorrow I'm planning on my gold wedges with ribbons that lace up the back. And then Sullivan's going to pick up Jack and I so we can all go shoe shopping after work. I think they're both excited. But they both have different taste. And different shoe sizes. It might be interesting. I know it will be adorable.
Imagine.
Two sleepy eyed baristas and one serious man trying on loads of footwear as they down their own homemade triple shot espressos and mochas. Darling.

A FOOTNOTE:
Jack did lighten up his mood when Sullivan arrived. I don't think he could help it. They are positively best friends. And it is hard not to smile when your very serious friend is trying to decide whether to have whole milk or 2% in his cocoa.
And I think the sunflower Jack put behind his own ear, helped quite a bit.

xo, Delia.
