"Let me guess," she said as soon as he entered the small café she worked at, "Your usual Mr. Eucliffe?"

He nodded, smiling. "You know me well," he said, and she smiled at that. She smoothed her hands over her apron. "And please, call me Sting."

"That wouldn't be very professional," she said quietly, but her brown eyes brightened considerably. "One apple pie coming up!" she trilled, turning to the pastry case.

She passed it over to him, and he took the warm plate gratefully. "Thank you," Sting said, "Yukino." She nodded and flounced away to help another customer, leaving him to eat his pie alone.

When he got up to leave, his pastry eaten and his belly full but his heart empty, she waved at him.

"See you tomorrow Sting!" she called, and he waved back. He watched her for a moment before he fully departed to go back to that hellhole of a cave, with sad brown eyes.

Maybe she'd remember him tomorrow.
