hey, are you working today?
Diego arrives at the café ready for his Saturday shift — only to find Sofía already behind the counter. What she did next changes everything between them.

Diego stood outside the café for a few minutes. Then he walked in through the door.
Diego: sofía. i need to talk to you for a moment. Sofía: diego, you're here. Diego: yes. listen. i'm working with you today, ok? Sofía: what? Diego: i'm talking to the boss. i'm working with you. the tips are for you. Sofía: diego... that's so kind. thank you. Diego: but next time, you talk to me first. Sofía: yes. i promise.
They worked together all day. That evening, after the café closed, Sofía sent one last message.
