Melinda had been busy all day studying for a couple of her exams that were coming up before the Christmas Holiday. Knowing that she still had to go Christmas shopping, she looked at her watch and realized that she could still make it to Target, Walmart and do some window shopping if necessary. She put her books inside of her backpack and headed out of the library. Knowing that she hadn't eaten in a while and could use a snack before shopping and then she would go home and cook dinner later.
Putting the backpack around her shoulders, she walked out and headed towards Starbucks. Usually she would get something with a lot of caffeine, but she decided against it because she didn't want to be up all night. Walking in, she began to look at the menu. The food looked good but she didn't want anything too filling and something that she could carry around. After all, she wanted to shop while she ate and drank.
Finally realizing what she wanted. She went up to the counter and ordered a venti pink drink and a chocolate croissant. She took out her card and then not knowing what the person behind her was getting, she wanted to pay it forward. "And I'll also get this person's as well." She turned around with a smile and said, "Merry Christmas. Coffee or whatever is on me."
