"You're a gloomy person, aren't you?"

I look up at the girl speaking to me, setting down my coffee.

"Excuse me?"

She shrugs her shoulders and says, "You're in here every day and I've never seen a smile on your face. You're cute, too. You'd think that someone as cute as you would smile more often."

I scrutinize the strange girl and I just say, "I don't really have much to smile about."

She rolls her eyes. "There's so much to smile about. You just got served a pretty great coffee, if I must say so myself, that's a reason to smile. You didn't get hit by a car while crossing the street to get here, that's another reason to smile. Don't make excuses," she tutted at me.

"I'm sorry, but who are you and why are you telling me what to do?" I ask, crossing my arms.

She flashes a bright smile at me and says, "I'm Arizona Calder and I just might be your guardian angel."

I only roll my eyes and she walks away, laughing and shooting me a wink.
