In spite of herself, Caitlin laughs a little. "Oh my gosh, I couldn't function without coffee, I can't even imagine. I can barely string together a coherent sentence before my first cup in the morning," she confesses, grinning.

"Do you have your phone? I can put my number in it and you can text me when you're free. I'll let you know what my class schedule looks like and we can work something out," Caitlin adds, eager to seize the opportunity to make a new friend, even if all they ever end up doing is meeting up for coffee once in a while.

Grinning, Caitlin nods. "That sounds perfect," she says. "I don't know if I'm an idea guy, but I'm willing to give it a shot once in a while."
