This day at last was a calmer one than the ones that had come before it. Avery had no clue why everyone went nuts once the second week of October hit, but this week she'd had clients at the nail salon go crazy wanting Halloween and autumn designs and her nightly clients had doubled as fights about kids and Christmas had apparently started two months early. The men wanted comfort, and their female partners wanted to vent over nails. She'd been about to exit the coffee shop when a guy about her age came over rambling about pumpkin spice. Arching an eyebrow in faint amusement, she waited until he was done. "People go nuts over anything orange related this time of year. Can't be avoided." She responded with a shrug. When he offered her the cookie though she smirked a bit. There it was. "I best say yes lest you head over to the next innocent bystander with a new pumpkin spice ramble attack." She said in a teasing tone.

"I have to say, one of the good things this country has, has to be pumpkin spice. I swear you guys throw it on everything as soon as October hits. Almost like tradition." Joshua rambled as he approached the woman with fire red hair. No he didn't approach her to talk about pumpkin spice, though it was somewhat related. It was just a side effect of his nervous jitters. He wished it was otherwise. "Sorry, I mean.. I got free cookies with pumpkin spice icing on them. It was one plus one free. Would you like it?" @musical-avery
