Enzo

I had just arrived for practice at the hockey arena, and was waiting for the team to arrive. I was standing by the coffee machine in the breakroom, and the only sound was that of the coffee spurting out into the cup. This was already my third cup this moming, but I hardly slept last night.

After the run-in with the fortune teller, I couldn't help but lay awake all night worrying about Nina. I kept looking over at her as if she would suddenly just pop out of existence-but of course she was always there, sleeping beside me.

"Morning."

He nodded his head toward the coffee maker. "I don't suppose you wouldn't mind making one for me."

I shook my head, handing him the now-filled cup of coffee that had been waiting for me. "Not at all. Here, take this one. I'll make another."
