The brunette sighed, jogging to a different café, frowning at the smell of fresh coffee grounds. It wasn't busy, so she made her way to the counter and relaxed her posture, "Uhm, hello?" She called out due to the fact that no one was there, "There's a really thirsty girl out here, waiting to be served."

A woman came rushing out, flustered, "I am so sorry. I just... sorry. What would you like?"

"Do you do English tea?" There were no menus, Mallory wasn't entirely sure that she wouldn't get drugged and poisoned. The barista looked nice enough to not do that, but never judge a book by its cover.

"Yes, of course," She nodded, "One English tea for..."

"Mallory."

"One English tea for Mallory, coming right up!" The barista grinned, taking a large cup and filling it.

Mallory watched her make the over-priced beverage (she put a teabag and hot water into an insulated cup, handing Mallory the sugar, small pots of milk and a wooden stirrer). She didn't want to mention how she could've just made the tea at home for free.

"Here," the barista handed her the drink, "that'll be four dollars, fifty-eight cents."

Mallory handed her the money, putting a tip into the jar and walked out. She sighed, taking off the lid and ripping the sugar bags with her teeth, pouring them in as she continued walking.

She decides to take a detour in Central Park, sitting by the lake. She opened WhatsApp and frowned at the messages that she had received.

"Uh, hey!" Mallory looked up from her phone, smiling at an anxious looking woman, "You're Mallory Williams, right? I'm Althea, I'm a big fan."

Mallory chuckled, standing up, "I didn't know I had any of them," She joked.

Althea blushed, "It's just- There aren't very many out, female athletes as of right now, you know? You helped me come out to my family and just you're a great person and an inspiration to so many young girls, I- I'm panicking, oh God," She forced out an awkward laugh.
