FADE IN: INT. CAFE - DAY Jack is standing behind the counter, wiping down the espresso machine. It's a hot, muggy day and he's sweating profusely. Suddenly, the door opens and Erika walks in. She's wearing sandals and a sundress. Erika: (smiling) Hey Jack! Jack: (brightening up) Erika! Hey! How are you? Erika: (rolling her eyes) I'm good. It's so hot outside, I'm dying. Jack: Tell me about it. This heat is brutal. Erika: Yeah, I thought I'd pop in and get something cool to drink. Jack: Of course. What can I get you? Erika: Hmm, surprise me. Jack nods and starts making a drink. Suddenly, Erika notices Stella, the cafe owner, sitting in the corner. Stella is rubbing her bare foot against Jack's leg. Erika: (trying not to laugh) Uh, Jack? Jack: (not noticing Stella) Yeah? Erika: (gesturing with her eyes) Um, are you okay? Finally, Jack looks down and sees Stella's foot on his leg. He jumps back, startled. Jack: (laughing nervously) Oh, ha ha! Stella, you scared me. Stella: (smiling wickedly) Sorry, sweetie. I just couldn't resist. Erika: (laughing) What, do you have a foot fetish or something? Stella: (shrugging) Maybe. It's just so hot today and I thought I would have a bit of fun with Jack. Jack: (rolling his eyes) Great, thanks. I'll never live this down. Erika: (still laughing) Yeah, I'd say you're under her spell now. Stella giggles and winks at Erika. Stella: (smiling) Maybe you'll be next. Erika: (laughing) Come on, Stella. I don't think my feet are your type. Stella: (mock pouting) Aw, no fair. You don't know until you try. Erika: (smiling) I think I'll stick to my iced tea, thanks. Jack hands Erika her drink. Jack: Here you go. Erika: (taking a sip) Mmm, delicious. Thanks, Jack. Jack: (smiling) Anytime. Stella: (smiling wickedly again) Oh, Jack. You're so sweet. Erika shakes her head and stifles another laugh. Erika: (amused) You're going to have to be on guard around here, Jack. Jack: (laughing) Looks like it. FADE OUT.
