A young couple was walking down the sidewalk of a moderately sized town, hand in hand, enjoying the bright fall weather on a rare joint day off. Plans consisting of hurriedly doing as many chores as possible, then treating themselves to coffee and sweets at the local cafe. The couple entered the cozy, warmly lit cafe and placed their orders. They found a place in a little worn love seat by the fireplace and chatted happily as they set out their spread on the coffee table. Carlita made a confused face, shifting her weight uncomfortably as she had noticed something under herself.
