Shun entered the cafe, checking the tables for a place to sit and work quietly for a little while. He'd just finished an interview and wanted to type up something before the day was done. The cafe was nice and quiet, which was exactly what he needed.

He walked towards the back of the cafe and then froze, cocking his head to one side to stare at a vaguely familiar face. He was sure he'd seen the young woman before...in fact, he was sure he had interviewed her before.

His mind snapped back, recalling the various interviews he'd done over the years and a name popped up. She was one of many assistants that he'd interviewed four months back. He walked over to the table.

"Excuse me, Indou-san?" he said tentatively.

Upon hearing the bell above the entry way ring, Kaho glanced up to see who it was. She quickly dismissed the person after noting that it wasn't anyone she knew from school, and turned back to her cheesecake, taking a sip of her Shirley Temple between every bite.

With a mouthful of cheesecake, Kaho looked up when she heard someone call her name and a new presence by her side. She swallowed the dessert and blinked, eyes squinting and trying to figure out who the person was. He looked familiar...

"Ah, Oguri-san!" He was a nice man (or guy?) who had interviewed her a while back. "Please, sit down!" She gestured to the seat across from her.

Shun smiled politely at the young woman and sat down at her gesture.

"It's nice to see you again," he said, eyeing her drink and cake. "How has your job been since we last met?"

Kaho drank the rest of her Shirley Temple and smiled, which faltered a little when she noticed that it was all gone. Seeing the other glance at her food, Kaho grinned and flagged down one of the waiters. "Riku-kun! 2 more Shirley Temples and a slice of cheesecake, onegai!" The waiter took her order and went to the back.

"It's nice to see you too, Oguri-san." Her eyes crinkled at the corners, and she could feel a genuine smile appearing on her face. "I was fired from a job a few days ago; I guess it's I've been too preoccupied with my little problems. I just wasn't paying attention." Her shoulders slumped and she sighed. "How about you?"
