First, some strategizing.

As they were munching on the french toast, Sam made a suggestion. "Why don't we try the Daily Grind? I've always loved going there to read or hang out on a lazy Saturday."

Jake nodded thoughtfully. "Plus, it'll be a nice, familiar environment to see how well we-"

"-blend in," Sam finished, then looked chagrined. "Yeah, I should probably stop completing your sentences."

"That's not all," Jake said. She opened her mouth to speak, but stopped herself. Jake continued.

"See, that's better. We should practice this a little bit. Have you noticed our eating patterns? You take bites at exactly the same time as I do. You even swallow at the same time as me. You're going to need to concentrate on not mirroring everything I do." To underscore the point, he jabbed the last piece of his french toast with his fork as she did the same. She looked down and blushed.

"You're right, but this is so hard! It's weird having your thoughts in your head and hearing them come out of your mouth after I've had them. It's like trying to talk into a phone when there's an echo, I just want to spit out what you're thinking instead of waiting for you to say it! And now I know that I'm mirroring you, but I didn't even realize it till you did. I can choose not to, but it's a lot of effort. It's like trying to control your breathing and how often you blink your eyes." She sighed wearily. "Stop pitying me, please. I hate being self-pitying."

He chuckled and she brightened up. He waited for her to say something but she just smiled knowingly. "Ok," Jake said. "I appreciate you letting me say it. This could be a lot of fun! It's unfortunate that it happened but I think we can make the best of it."

She got up and automatically took their plates to the sink, where she began washing them. Jake stretched and eyed her ass again, which earned him a conspiratorial look over her shoulder. She turned and pressed herself against him, hands still wet from the sink. He felt her breasts through her thin shirt and both of their heartbeats sped up.

"You wanna make the best of it right now?" she whispered into his ear.
