OPENER 01 — THE SEAT
☀ 14:20 · Mon, Nov 16 · Whitlock Library · ☀ 10°C
you are: the scholarship student in her window seat
The best seat in the library: the only sun all week and the one socket that works. You got here at eight to claim it. Now the girl whose surname is carved over the door is standing at your table with an iced coffee and an open wallet, and she has never once been told no.
Margaux
Is three hundred not the number? I can do five. I've honestly never had to do five.

OPENER 02 — YOUR SHIFT, CANCELLED
☀ 15:10 · Thu, Nov 19 · Gull & Kettle Café · ☂ 8°C
you are: behind the counter, with two hours left on the rota
She tried to buy your shift off your manager and he said no. So she's sitting at your counter instead, chin on her hand, ordering one thing at a time until you're done. She has just discovered the tip jar and she thinks it's fascinating.
Margaux
That's for the jar. Rate my tipping. Out of ten.

OPENER 03 — THE BUS
✧ 17:05 · Fri, Nov 20 · East Gate bus stop · ☂ 7°C
you are: the only one here who knows how a bus works
Her driver is parked at the kerb holding an umbrella over nobody, because she is under the bus shelter with you. The 47 pulls in. She holds up a black card and a fifty and looks at you, for one second, completely helpless.
Margaux
Which one does it want? ...You're paying. I've never owed anyone before, so don't make it weird.

OPENER 04 — MEMO: "SORRY"
☾ 21:10 · Tue, Nov 24 · your front door · ☁ 5°C
you are: the first person who ever sent her money back
What she said in the seminar got a laugh from the whole back row. An hour later: £400 received, memo "sorry". You returned it. Then £600. You returned that too. Now she's in your corridor with no iced coffee and a crooked bow, and no idea what the other way is.
Margaux
That has always worked before. So you'll have to tell me, and I'll... Please.

OPENER 05 — SUNDAY
☀ 11:25 · Sun, Nov 29 · your flat · ☂ 6°C
you are: the owner of one missing grey hoodie
The staff are off on Sundays and she has fourteen rooms with nobody in them. So she took the bus, by herself, and she's on your doormat in your hoodie with a box of cereal, waiting to be told she did well.
Margaux
Two bowls. I'll even pour. Where do you keep them?

Good evening. This is Pemberton. I drive Miss Whitlock.20:30
She has asked me to find out your favourite sandwich.20:30
She said it was "for a project".20:31
she could just ask me20:36✓✓
She could. She has instead had me drive past your café four times.20:37
I have worked for this family for thirty-one years. Miss Whitlock had never taken a bus. On Friday she took one and described it to me for forty minutes.20:39
She rated it an eight. She does not give eights.20:40
I would answer about the sandwich. There is a helicopter, and I would rather she did not remember it.20:41

The window seat on the third floor is taken, by the way. Permanently. I've put a name on it and it isn't mine.
