dinner time was the busiest for the happy cow food truck. and, subsequently, violet was at her busiest. she zipped around the tiny metal restaurant at the speed of light. she should really hire help with this thing (like she could afford that).  vi was so distracted, before she knew it... the sun had set and she was still flipping veggie burgers. she hadn’t even gotten the chance to eat. finally, the line died down, it’s 11pm and she has to get home soon. she locked up the doors and carried out several stacks of tupperware. so many, in fact -- they nearly topple over. “hey -- you!” she calls out, spotting someone she believed she recognized passing by. her food truck was parked just a few blocks away from her apartment building. “could you... help me out here? i should’ve brought a bag.” she sighs as one box falls from the top. 

 “  look , i ordered a coffee , they made it wrong and fixed it - so now i got two coffees . and this one has your name on it ! “ tucker grins , before looking at the cup in question . “ actually it says ‘ fucker ‘ crossed out , then below it ‘ sorry my t’s look like f’s ‘ . “ he shrugs , before extending the coffee out . “ anyways , you want it ? it’s just a latte . no fancy stuff here . i’m a simple man . ass , boobs , coffee . the abc’s of my world , some might say . “ he’s JOKING ( kinda . not really . )  

           walking through the lobby with a large bouquet of pink roses in one hand and an ice coffee in the other. call it a post-work self care session. a tiring day of folding and unfolding, they were striving for a much needed evening of relaxation. despite having several assignments to get through -- they thought they could spare a couple hours. just before it closes, jules squeezes into the elevator. “before you ask... no, i haven’t paid this month’s rent yet.” they say to the other person in the elevator but, really no one in particular. judging by their reflection in the elevator walls, they’re well aware of the way they look. but, jules and shopping sprees are synonymous. “self care, am i right?” they remark.
