Alan was now at his limit, but Aaron ordered more coffee, and the girls shook their heads yes.
Imogen Howe
made some comment about how she drinks so much coffee at the cafe that it doesn't effect her. Jack didn't buy that, saying there is no way caffeine doesn't affect her. Its impossible, all these chemicals they do something in the body. Her friend, Ashley agreed, although she caveated that with molecularly its impossible to tell which of the caffeine molecules is doing anything, just that one of them must be doing something. Like you couldn't say for certain which one. Just like you can't say for certain your cars exhaust is causing waters to rise in India.
The table fell silent. And Imogen said that she's been at school for too long talk normal. Where's the real Ashley, and she pretended to shake her awake, or alive. Alan couldn't tell.
He was too busy sweating, but he'd already taken off his coat, hat, sweater, and now rolled up the sleeves to his t-shirt.
Aaron said something like oh getting big there Al.
And it kept going like this until Imogen said she should get going, open up for at least the afternoon regulars. The ones from Zumba are the worst. One lady she said gets a peppermint tea and asks for milk in it.
"Alan, could you stop by later? I have something for you. Nothing too special. "
