Chemistry Countdown (Part 7 of 10)
When they exited the coffee shop, Mary laughed at the spectacle taking place in her car. Her sister, from the looks of it, had tried to squeeze her way into the back seat, to no doubt get...
Mary opened the door for Justin and followed him inside the coffeehouse. She turned back to see Melany sticking her tongue out.
“I didn’t know you’d be here,” said Mary. “Melany did that without my knowledge.”
“I figured when I first saw your face,” he replied. “Sorry if I scared you.”
“No worries. I’m happy you’re here.”
“You are?”
“Because of my car.”
“Ah, right. Your car. I’m happy to help. Has it stalled out before?”
“Only once since I’ve had it. I bought it used four years ago. Still, sorry you got dragged out by my sister. I’m sure you have a million other things you’d rather be doing.”
“There’s nowhere else I’d rather be,” he replied.
“Next,” said the barista behind the counter.
“Let me buy your coffee,” said Mary. “Since you’re helping with my car.”
“Sure. That’d be great. Nothing special for me. Medium black coffee will do just fine.”

Her sister, from the looks of it, had tried to squeeze her way into the back seat, to no doubt get out of the car from the back driver’s side door, but had gotten stuck. Her legs swayed in the air by the front passenger seat and her head could be seen from the back window.
“Looks like you’re not the only Clemmons in need of help today,” said Justin.
