“What can I do?” asked Luigi when they were back inside The Lord Grey.
“Get us some coffee from next door!” said Keith promptly. “And introduce yourself to Esmé. She's the pretty barrista with the lovely hazel eyes. Tell her it's a Keith and a Jason and whatever you'd like. She knows what we have. Here, here's some dosh.” He opened his manbag and took out a fiver. Jason fiddled in his coin pocket in his jeans and pulled out $3. They gave their money to Luigi. “Yeah, introduce yourself to Esmé,” said Jason. “She's really nice.”
The café next door was called Don Vincenzo's and had a door with a massive elegant handle made of spoons welded together.
There were two women making the coffee and doing the waiting. One of them was a very pretty woman with hazel eyes.
“Esmé?”
“Yeah?” She was surprised that a stranger knew her name.
“Yeah, I'm Luigi. I'm from Keith and Jace from The Lord Grey. They want their usual, please.”
“Do they now?” Luigi decided that Esmé would be a bad person to cross. She didn't seem afraid of anybody.
