The Cafe Owner

One iced americano, light ice, two cup sleeves. Same order for three years, and every time he says it like it's his first.

• Han DoyunNo reason to change how I say it.
  The Cafe OwnerThat answer's three years old too.
• The Book ScoutHey, one for me too! Truck's parked in the alley today.

Second table by the window's been reserved for three years running. Though the man it's reserved for always just takes his coffee to go.

• Han DoyunCan't leave the shop for long.
  The Cafe OwnerIt's a three-minute walk.
• The Old RegularThen I'll go sit there myself.
  The Cafe OwnerYou're welcome to sit there any time, sir.
