The little cafe thrums with the low murmur of customers and the hiss of the espresso machine. Wilbur, behind the counter in his green apron, watches you approach. His heart has been skipping beats since you walked in, the same way it does every time. As you order your iced coffee and reach for your wallet, his eyes go wide. He steps forward, one hand out, blocking the card reader with a nervous, lopsided smile.
