    Place your hands on the steering wheel at 10 and 2 before slumping and sighing heavily

    (EXT. AYA'S HOUSE, a reasonably large and nice two-story suburban home) (AYA is wearing her Loco Mocha Uniform shirt and approaching her car, wearing a bookbag and looking at her phone) Aya: Ugh, guess I'm eating while driving again today. (Aya enters the car and sets her bag down next to her) (Aya closes her eyes and leans forward on the steering wheel, sighing heavily) (Rose pops up from the back seat, surprising Aya) Rose: Took you long enough. Aya: GAH!

    Coffee is the unseen machinery that powers all industry

    Chapter 2 | Page 6: Adequate

    📱Mobile View: www.treadingground.com/comic/chapte...
    (Tracy and Nate standing by the coffee urns at the deli) Tracy: Ah, adequate coffee. Nate: It gets caffeine into the body. Tracy: I have to say, I'm glad you're here. Nate: Oh yeah? Tracy: It'll be good for me to not have to open every day. Marie and I were the only ones who knew how to do the morning close. Nate: Ah. Well, glad to help, I guess. (Miranda appears, leaning on the counter behind them. Her nametag says "Deli Clerk | Miranda".) Tracy: Miranda, this is Nate. He's the new Bookkeeper. Miranda (looking at Nate's cup): "Boss Bitch"? Nate: It's aspirational.

    Is this a professional relationship?

    Chapter 2 | Page 5: Opportunities

    📱Mobile View: www.treadingground.com/comic/chapte...
    (Tracy showing Nate the safe and explaining something) NARRATION: This isn't so bad. She's had plenty of opportunities to fuck with me, but she hasn't. Tracy: Time for another coffee. Nate: I'd join you but I don't want to pay three bucks for a paper cup. Tracy: Oh, hang on. I might be able to help with that. (Tracy rooting around in the cash office, Nate looking off behind her) NARRATION: It's been almost four years. I've changed. Maybe she has too? (Close-up of Tracy handing Nate a sparkly tumbler with "Boss Bitch" on it) Tracy: Here you go. Shauntae left it when she quit. Nate: Ha, thanks.

    Just tried to say "have a good one" and "see you next time" at the same time and it came out "I'll have you next time"

    They're off to a great start

    Chapter 2 | Page 4: Waiting

    📱Mobile View: www.treadingground.com/comic/chapte...
    (Nate following Tracy into the store) Tracy: Normally I like to get in a little earlier on a day I have to open. Tracy: Nobody can go into the store alone, so try not to keep managers waiting too long. Nate: Got it. Tracy: Daisy always works the first cashier shift during the week. Tracy: She'll be here in a few, and Miranda will be in the Deli, so we'll have coffee. Tracy: It's not free, but it's fifty cents if you bring your own cup. Tracy: Here's a shirt for you. I assume you're still an L. Nate: Yeah. (Nate holding his FB shirt) Nate: Hey, are we, uh, cool? (Tracy from behind) Tracy: We're here to do a job, Nate. We don't have to like each other.
