The first day of the semester

I stopped by the local coffee shop in MEL this morning on my way to the office. The area was empty except for a strikingly good-looking grad student who was struggling with her strolly and a larger than usual handbag, trying to order a cuppa joe all at the same time. Clearly, she was returning from her holiday destination. I helped her with her strolly and was rewarded with a smile. "Thanks. I am such a mess this morning", she said.
"Are you traveling back from somewhere today?", I asked, returning the smile.
"Oh, no...I am just heading over to the library." That smile again and then she walked out the double doors.
The semester has begun...
