Damn Good Coffee

[tiny_dancer81]

Theresa had taken to hanging out at Cool Beans even when Maddy wasn't behind the counter. They served good espresso, and their pastries didn't get stale from sitting in the glassed-in case for ages. A small portion of her paycheck was going into the register at Page Turners, providing her with paperbacks. She had a major crush on Jackie Collins' Lucky Santangelo.

The vampire was currently taking up space on one of the couches near the back of the establishment. There was a book in her lap and two empty cups on the table to her left. The plate that accompanied the cups was sprinkled with crumbs from a blueberry scone. Even though she couldn't really taste food anymore, she liked the play-acting that eating involved.

The bell above the shop's door jingled, and Theresa glanced up from Lucky's adventures in the mob to see if she knew who had just stepped inside.

The description made Melody frown with puzzlement. She had come to believe that vampires basically didn't 'feel' anything, and the way Theresa was talking made her rethink that.

"So you do sort of feel something?" Melody asked, head tilted a little to one side as she studied Theresa a little more openly. "I mean, do you feel happy, or cranky, or sort of tired, or depressed, or stuff like that?"
