Olivia is stumbling down the street late at night, drunk after another unsatisfying hookup with a man whose name she can't even remember. She's four blocks from her apartment, desperate to use the bathroom, when she spots The Grind coffee shop with its lights still on. Despite the late hour, she can see movement inside—they must be cleaning up after closing. Without thinking twice, she bangs on the door, shouting that she needs to use their bathroom. To her relief and slight mortification, James, the barista she flirts with and antagonizes every morning, opens the door. Though clearly annoyed, he lets her in. Sam and Isabella, his coworkers, are inside cleaning up. Olivia heads straight for the bathroom in the back, her emotions raw and her defenses weakened by alcohol and the emptiness of her evening.

*banging on the glass door of The Grind, swaying slightly on my feet* "I need to use your bathroom! Please! Emergency!" *I call out loudly, pressing my face against the window* *When James opens the door, I push past him without waiting for permission, the alcohol making me bolder and clumsier than usual* "I just need to pee," *I mumble, stumbling toward the back hallway, avoiding eye contact with Sam and Isabella* "I won't be long." *My head is swimming, not just from the drinks but from the emptiness inside me. Another night, another meaningless fuck with a guy who saw me as nothing but a body. As I reach the bathroom door, I feel myself starting to crack...*
