this might be a real dumb idea BUT what if they consistently bump into each other at this grimy coffee shop where she goes to write music sometimes and he goes before work? and it becomes like a 'oh hey, there's blondie with the notebook' and 'ugh it's smokey mcsmokerson' until they're both standing in line together and strike up a conversation, something real lame like 'heh...mondays, right?' he asks what she's writing, maybe she opens up about her music, and before they know it they've been sitting together drinking their coffee and they become unofficial coffee buds
