in another life lotta latte barista starts working at the independent coffee shop down the street and her coworkers make fun of her for doing everything at 2x speed because of her coffee chain training. and incidentally that’s where sarah and erica started going bc “now that we’re immortal we should be supporting the good whitechapel business to make sure they stick around forever sarah 🙄😎” (but really it’s to avoid the annoying underclassmen)
and when she sees sarah she says omg zombie girl hi 😊🙋♀️ which annoys sarah because sarah just remembers how she stole sarah's man, but she remembers how sarah saved her life and she gives them free drinks and cookies that day. sarah is still annoyed and rolling her eyes about it, but erica sees an opportunity and insists they go back again and again.
during slow days (which is most days) lotta latte barista strikes up a conversation with them. sarah realizes she's not that bad, she's just a little ditzy. a little unaware of what's going on around her. but she's smart and she love poetry and she's been volunteering for a digital archive project at the local museum. she's a lot more interesting than sarah had thought. AND she's not dating that guy. he was just using her for free drinks, and it kind of broke her heart. figures.
they promise to protect each other from men like that from here on out. lotta latte barista starts joining them outside of the coffee shop. they go to the mall together, and get manicures, and they get smoothies. they find out that she's planning to enroll at the local college next year, she's just been saving up. that's where sarah is planning to go, too, while she tries to figure out if there's a way to get into acting with her condition. (she doesn't say that part to lotta latte barista, though). erica got into a nicer university a couple hours away for chemistry, but she promises she's always just a phone call away. for both of her girls.
it's lotta latte barista's first time having close girl friends. the first time she's had girls like this who know her as more than just a barista.
she never forgets that summer, as long as she lives.
