About Last Night

              “There’s my favourite manager.” Mused Jenny’s most favourite person in the world.Marc Stevenson was the brother Jenny never had. They met while being interviewed for positions at The Maze Café, the exclusive café belonging to Labyrinth Publishing House. It had been friendship at first sight. Marc strongly believed they must have been separated at birth. Jenny and Marc were both 23, both majoring in English writing and minoring in English literature. They both had wavy blonde hair, blue eyes, high cheek bones and soft plump pink lips. It had amazed Jenny how she had never run into Marc at university until she found out he was studying online and only visited the university to use the library.Marc suffered from terrible anxiety. His parents were drug and alcohol addicts, and he was taken away from them when they could no longer look after him. According

By the next morning Jenny was feeling a little silly. She shouldn’t have acted so defensive towards Cole. She spent her shower debating how she would approach him. Her breakfast was spent building up courage and her bus ride was consumed with different scenarios and outcomes.As she entered the publishing house the atmosphere was tense and sombre. Everyone she passed looked at her with a serious expression. Some of the reception staff were sniffing into tissues. She unlocked the front door of the café and stepped inside. Marc was racing around putting things out and trying to get Jasmine to tidying the front counter.Today was Thursday. Thursdays and Fridays were always the busiest days at The Maze, hence Jasmine’s presence. She was slow and cumbersome. Her stocky build and dead straight black hair made her even more unusual and totally out of place. However, she was great at front of house and as much as Marc protested, she could make a mean coffee.
