A package of Yakult and a note. I don't believe Jack is aware yet that Dorin doesn't eat food! Please forgive him! The note reads:

I went on a grocery run to Albany with our coworker Wren Chau. Got some things that I think are hard to find around the Station. Hope you enjoy!

I'd like to thank you for rescuing my shoe. Coffee on me?

You don't need to thank me or anything. I was happy to do it!
But coffee would be [...] nice.

When were you thinking?

I know I don't need to, but I'm very grateful.

Is tomorrow too soon?

[...]
No. Not at all.

Excellent! I'm the furthest thing from patient so I appreciate you humoring me.

I don't think it's humoring you if I'm looking forward to it! To be fair.

Then I must've made a pretty good first impression. You seem very [...] sweet!

You did. [...] I
Did you think you hadn't?

It's not that. I think very highly of myself, but I'm not for everyone.

[...] Well. I don't know you very well. But I think you're kind and confident and kinda funny. And those are all good things. So people are probably missing out.

I am kind, just not very nice. People tend to prefer the latter. I'm glad you got to see the better side of me. [...] Anyway! Not to get too deep!

Sure! Sorry.
[...]
Any recommendations at the coffee shop? I haven't been there yet.

You don't need to apologize.

I'm told the lavender oat milk latte is to die for, but my tastes tend to skew away from sweet. The black coffee is surprisingly good!

[...] Mine do too, honestly. Maybe I'll follow suit!

It's kind of a shame. The sweet ones are always more memorable.

They really are. I can't tell you how many times I walked around campus with a pink drink as an accessory. Dreadful taste but so cute.

Exactly! Kind of unfair.
I knit myself a cute thermos holder when I was in university, but it just wasn't the same.

That's SO adorable. I'm obsessed!

We do what we have to do! Right? It's a cuteness wasteland out here.

[...]

I wish I could make things like that.

I can show you the basics sometime if you want. I'm not an expert or anything, but I've taken a few classes.

That would be really lovely. Maybe in return I can teach you a thing or two about the garden—if you'd be interested in something like that?

I'd like that! I've never worked in a garden before. But it seems rewarding.

There's something so special about seeing a garden bloom and knowing you had a hand in it. It really strengthens your connection with the world around you.

That sounds [...] really nice.

Are there plants there that're just yours? Or are they all communal?
