The start of a new month had fallen on a Friday, not just any Friday, but a payday Friday. What better way to celebrate that than with an overpriced coffee that he wouldn't and couldn't enjoy. Ah well, forever young and all that jazz, right?
One of these days he was banking on the Dome pulling its usual shit and gifting him a life for a week, if only to be able to enjoy things. Food, drink, cigarettes.. Actually feeling something aside from the hollow numbness and longing would've been a real trip.
Stepping up to the counter, he ordered the usual. Not needing to skimp on the calories, because he was way past caring about those. Hell, the drink had been the first one he had heard someone say when he first showed up in Madison. It seemed like a good choice, and yeah, maybe a waste where he was concerned, but it was his money. Moving off to the side, he saw the familiar face out of the corner of his eye, step up to the counter herself. "Hey, it's on me. Ok? What are coworkers for?"
