Scarlett wiped down the counters of the coffee shop. Her shift ended in an hour and she could hardly stand any longer. Zephyr was sitting on a stool next to the counter like he always did. Scarlett never really understood why he was so interested in her. He always talked to her hoping she could solve his life problems or something.
Zephyr gulped down his 3rd cup of coffee and handed the empty cup to Scarlett. "There you go. Clean away."
She rolled her eyes and put the cup in the dish sink. "So tell me again what your dad said to you that made you so upset?"
"He told me to snap out of it when I told him I was feeling depressed." He stared at her kind of blankly. He never had much emotion in his eyes.
Scarlett sighed. "Look, I know I want to be a psychiatrist one day, but I am not yet. I don't know what to tell you. I think you and your dad are just having trouble connecting."
He nodded and shrugged. "I guess. I've been sitting here for 3 hours and I've gotten no where."
"Like I said, I just try giving advice. I'm no doctor." She said as she quickly went to the back to get more cups. While she was back there, she quickly pulled out her phone check her email. She applied for an internship at the mental hospital to work with psychiatrists. She sighed and put her phone away when she saw that there was still no response.

Sam walked over to the counter and ducked behind it. Putting a finger to his lips as Seth searched the store. Leave it to his brother to find his job and constantly try to talk to him. He glanced at Zephyr and frowned slightly, looking back to Scarlett and making a face at her as if to say "who the hell is he?".

"His name is Zephyr. He comes here almost everytime I work to try and talk to me about his life." She said as she grabbed a step ladder to get a box of to-go cups. She grabbed the box and stepped back down before stabbing the box with her keys to open it.

"He does realize we're almost closed right?" Sam wrote quickly on the pad of paper he'd taken to carrying around in his pocket so he could talk to her. He tended to fall in and out of the habit of not talking.

She sighed. "I hope. He's never stayed this late before.... Usually he leaves an hour and a half before we close." She peaked out to see if he was still there. Zephyr was watching them carefully.

"My shift's done," he wrote. "Is Seth still hanging around the clock in station?"

She glanced out again and nodded. "Yeah still there. Why are you hiding from him?"

"He wants to go on a double date but I don't want to, Rachel and I are suppose to meet up later."

"Why not just go on the double date? Maybe he just wants to spend time with you." She said with a shrug. She moved to step stool over so she could get down some disposable lids.

"He's your brother. It's good to do every once in a while. Can you peek out there and tell me if Zephyr is still there?" She asked.

He gave her a look. "I'm already three minutes over. I gotta go clock out," he wrote.

"Well I'm not stopping you." She said with a shrug. "Either face your brother or stay clocked in and get in trouble with the boss."

He pouted at her and looked over the counter. "Your stalker is still here," he wrote before going to face Seth.

She sighed and grabbed the lids and cups before going back over to the counter to restock.
Zephyr watched her carefully and kept glancing over at Sam. He was anxiously waiting for him to leave so he could talk to Scarlett alone.
