Natalie walks into her new place of work, apparently. The small bistro has a very welcoming atmosphere; the smell of cinnamon and fresh coffee and the light music making her want to curl up in one of the comfy-looking chairs and read a book. The entire room is a mixture of warm reds and browns and its warm enough to be comfortable but not enough to make her sweat. Overall, its a very homey mixture and she feels like working here won't be too bad.
"Hello darlin'! How can I help you today?" Natalie turns around at the sound of another voice to see a woman wearing a brown apron with the Cafe's logo and a name tag reading Savannah. The woman is wearing a large smile and when she reaches out to shake Natalie's hand she smells faintly of peaches.
"Uh, actually I'm supposed to be starting my job here today?" Natalie wrinkles her nose in confusion and lets out a small smile; it's nearly impossible not to around this woman. It's like her happiness is contagious.
"Natalie, right? I'm Savannah Ashby, the owner." She lets out a bigger smile and puts the notepad she had out into a pocket of her apron. "When you applied you said you'd been a barista before, so you know the basic drill right?"
"Yes," Nat replies. "I just need to know my way around and I can start working as soon as that's fixed."
"No problem hun, let's go ahead and take a tour." Savannah leads her around the small building, telling her tips about the customers and tricks with the machines while she does it. Natalie follows behind, appreciating the fact that instead of just saying how everything works, Savannah demonstrates it. After the short tour, she asks if Natalie has any questions before handing her an apron and promising that her name tag is on the way before going back into her office. Better get to work.
Natalie walks behind the counter, the few patrons inside the shop sipping on their coffee while reading or typing on their laptops. Resting her chin on the palms of her hands, she settles in for a quiet day at work.
