Melody had had a tough day at work.  Her boss hadn't appreciated her suggestion that they drop their biggest client because he's a 'tool'.  So much so that now it looked like she would be the one dropped instead.
She'd just that week given up smoking too, worst timing possible it seems.  Since she needs anything now which will calm her down.  But, she has strong willpower, so she'll settle for coffee and chocolate cake.
Callum hasn't had a very good day either.  He's been doing a photo shoot of dumb models for 10 hours and had to put up with them telling him not to make them look fat.  In the end he had to resort to making a couple of them cry in order to get the job done.  And on top of that, his psycho ex-girlfriend showed up and tried to convince him that she hadn't thrown his dog out of the window.  Needless to say, his head hurt now.
And so strange and predictable enough as the world is, both these people ended up going to that same coffee shop.  Unfortunately enough, their timing was a little bit off.
So when Melody tried to leave with her mocha and chocolate cake, and Callum tried to arrive for his cappuccino and shortbread, they ended up running into each other.  Literally.
And of course Melody ended up with coffee and cake all over her brand new shirt.
Letting out a stream of interesting expletives that Callum himself hadn't even used before, she threw her cup into the trash and glared at him.
"Can you not watch where you're going?"  She spat.
"I can, I just didn't see you.  Sorry."  And then he tried to escape another madwoman.
Melody scoffed, not at all convinced 'sorry' made up for it.
But by then Callum was already ordering and Melody was just too tired to create a scene.  So, glaring still she left the coffee shop.
Callum glanced back, making sure she was leaving and then sighed.
Both sincerely hoped the other didn't go there often.
