Maybe it was a bit much to go back through the doors again so soon after the last time, especially after Eddie had to practically drag him through the door, but after it had gone so well he thought maybe he was brave enough to try it again. The last time had been strange and awkward but it had been kind of nice too, in a weird sort of way. So why not try again and see how it went?
And when Bev was looking for a partner to go through Stan volunteered himself, linking his arm through hers as they went through the door together.
This time of year was not Stan's favorite, but it was also the best time of year for the shop so it was hard to let himself get too down about it. But what did he expect? Moving away from the city and to a small town years ago to start over again didn't really lend itself to the large community he'd come from. But he'd needed to get away, and a small town outside the reach of his family had felt right. Just like starting his own business had felt right too, sure it was a far cry from the corporate job he'd left behind but there was something really comforting about the familiarity of coffee and tea day in and day out.
Of course as the days grew shorter and the weather colder he was busier than ever, not that he minded really, it was good to be so busy, it kept him from worrying too much about what he'd left behind and what he was missing out on.
He was surprised that day as the evening was drawing to an end when the bell over the door chimed letting him know another customer had come in, only to be surprised to see someone he'd never laid eyes on before. Tall and beautiful in a way that demanded his attention and he had to take a beat before he let a smile pull its way across his mouth and greeted her.
"Hi welcome to Early Bird Coffee, can I get you something started?"
