The smell of freshly brewing coffee permeated the hallway, its enticing aroma too much for a mere mortal to resist. The young associate breezed her way toward the apparent source, her favorite coffee mug in hand, ready to be filled. The only question was would the flavor of the day be hazelnut or chocolate macadamia nut? Hmm. She caught another whiff. Time to find out. Robin entered the small kitchen located on the far side of the law office, suppressing a yawn as she stood waiting for the gourmet coffee to finish brewing. She was tempted to lift the carafe and sneak some of the unfinished brew, but since it was nearly full now anyway, she opted to wait just a few moments more for the payoff. As she lingered near the coffeemaker, her mind fixated on only one thing: how do they make coffee beans smell so good? She was so lost in her senses that she didn't hear the footsteps behind her.

"So, what's the flavor today?"

Startled, Robin whirled toward the voice. "Paul." Great. Still wary of his intentions, she really didn't want to engage him in conversation, however innocuous. "It's chocolate macadamia nut."

"Good." Paul Franklin offered her a thin but polite smile, still smarting from the last encounter he'd had with her. He had tried to reason with her and explain all of the misery she had the misfortunate to endure just because she happened to get mixed up with Jessica Harrison. But his most recent efforts were to no avail. "With all that fog outside, I could sure use some chocolate coffee today to get me started."

The young associate grabbed the carafe and filled her ceramic mug, keeping silent as she watched the rich, auburn-brown liquid reach just below the rim. The last thing she wanted to do was get involved in another conversation with Paul about her personal life. Without saying anything more, she quickly put down the pot and stepped to the side of the counter to allow him access to it.

He figured he might as well keep things friendly between them. One never knew when fortunes might turn. "Things going okay?" He poured some coffee into a cup.

"Fine." The younger associate gave no further response, preferring to add cream and sugar to her coffee in silence.

As it turned out, Paul was privy to some interesting information, and although he didn't want to jump too quickly to conclusions and interpret things in the wrong way, he felt he had a duty to at least offer Robin a little hint. She deserved to be clued in and on the lookout if things turned out to be not so "fine" in the end. "Been busy?"

"Not too bad." She snatched up a plastic spoon and stirred her coffee briskly, then attempted to make her escape.

He stepped over ever so slightly to stop her progress, careful not to appear threatening. He knew he'd have to be subtle, particularly if he wanted to convey the impression that he was someone who would always be there for her.
