Seriously: Janet, if they made the drink wrong, tell them

Tereson wondered if perhaps the universe was sending her a message. Maybe she should swap out her usual latte for a mocha.

After all, her boyfriend had recently broken up with her because she wasn’t “adventurous enough.” In all likelihood, he wasn’t talking about her coffee beverage bravery, but maybe this was a start.

“Janet, if they made the drink wrong then tell them, dammit,” said the angel. “There’s really no excuse to be so pathetic.”

Tereson looked at the glorious angel and nodded. With that, the angel left to the ceiling panel it came from. Tereson looked at the mocha.

Tereson looked at that the coffee bar.

She heard the angel’s voice from a short distance.

“Honestly, you’re such a little b*tch,” said the angel.
