"Thanks, Josh!" The drink is warm in her hands and she wraps her fingers around the mug gratefully. The first sip is probably the best, it is sweet and tangy just like a caramel apple. "Would you like a taste?" In case he's interested in at least trying it.

"Nothing? No friends or family? I don't want to pry or anything so if I venture into uncomfortable territory just, you know, wave me away." Which would be fair, Hope couldn't even be mad at that: they just met.
