If you haven't yet, then feel free to read the first short story in this series; this story takes place several days later.

Thanks a lot for checking out my short story! Reusing the same café setting, this entry in Mello's slice-of-life series covers a long lunch break in the middle of a work week. These stories are primarily intended to flesh out my main ferret fursona and several friends of his, and, like before, it follows a first-person present perspective whose narrative style is influenced by Mello's state of mind; Mello also relates closely to me, so there's some of that in this writing too. Both positive and constructively critical feedback are extremely appreciated!

If you want to see a related drawing, then also check out this artwork made by  The--Stickman, a talented friend of mine! Thanks to him for also reviewing my writing while I edited! Be sure to additionally look at his other artwork when you get the chance.

The thumbnail is cropped from a shaded version of a reference sheet that  CombatRaccoon drew me.

All characters in this story are my own and belong to me.
