Kate Kole and a Morning Cup of Murder
The thing about Kate Kole, was that Kate Kole’s name did not exist. And
though false names may not matter in some situations—such as the
introduction of acquaintances, social media personalities, pen names for
novels, and the like—in this story, it mattered a great deal.
As summer escaped into the cracks of the world and autumn brushed
over Toronto with chilly kisses and a mosaic of red and orange leaves, a
human girl with burgundy hair was tucked into the corner of a coffee shop
with her nose in a book. The collar of her favourite yellow sweater kept her
warm and hid the mountain tattoo on her neck. But despite what it may
have looked like, Kate Kole wasn’t there for the coffee.
The air smelled of freshly baked croissants and ground coffee beans,
complete with the warm fragrance of a small neighbourhood atmosphere
even though the coffee shop rested in the middle of the city. Seniors and
young adults moved about in pairs or groups, laughing and sipping, pulling
out textbooks and poking at their phone screens. The sounds were music to
Kate’s ears as she laid her thick novel flat, pressing down to crack the spine,
and pulled out a pen to jot notes in the margin. After she crossed out her
notes twice and rewrote them until they were perfect, she slid her pen away
and lifted her book again. She read the words out loud, quietly of course,
but with just enough volume that people passing by might assume she was
crazy and weird and wouldn’t try to take the open seat across from her at
her table.
Her phone buzzed. She ignored it and flipped a page.
The bell by the door rattled and cool air rushed into the warm space. Kate
glanced up from her novel.
A guy entered and headed to the counter.
Kate couldn’t look away. The guy’s tight black suit looked like armour
from a fantasy movie, and he wore a scowl like he’d stepped in something
gross. For a moment, Kate couldn’t decide if he was the arrogant, selfindulged, fraternity-type or a total fanfiction-obsessed nerd. On one hand,
he was gorgeous—his eyes sparkled a light brown-gold—but on the other
hand, his outfit…
She wondered if it would be inappropriate or illegal to snap a picture
while he wasn’t looking. This was the sort of hilarious thing that might have
the power to lift her spirits later if she ever had a bad day.
“Get me a beverage,” the guy said to the young girl behind the counter.
He snapped his fingers in her face, then folded his arms and released a
growly huff. Kate lowered her book, watching.
So, arrogant and self-indulged it was then.
“What do you want?” the cashier girl asked in a voice that was nicer than
what the guy deserved
