1: Mel is pouring coffee into two mugs while Julia, back to us, is swiping at a tablet. Moving crates are stacked against a wall of the dining room and various dishware is seen unpacked but still wrapped in bubblewrap.
2: Mel delivers the coffee. Remnants of a finished breakfast lay on the table. Julia keeps her eye on her tablet.
Mel: No hacking at the table, hon.
Julia:We have a date for when Kastos arrives.
Mel:A date for, or with?
Julia: F- Mel.
Mel: Heheee.
3: Julia sips her coffee while listening to Mel.
Mel: Took longer than I thought it would, but… good. I’ll line up some of the research we wanted him to look at.
4: Julia snorts into her coffee, surprised and concerned.
Mel: …Speaking of dating, though…
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe how far they’ve come together. Seems like only yesterday they were just a couple of crazy college students.
Danger sense tingling!
Oh, great, Kastos is coming back!
I was wondering what happened to the guy.
Looks Julia didn’t wait long enough before taking a sip of her coffee.
[Yes, I know what the image description says.]
I like how the content of the comic to this point makes that first panel close up on the coffee *so* ominous.
