Summer at Smile Café

Your apartment's AC has given up for the summer, so working from home is out of the question. Relocating to the Smile Café seems like the obvious fix for a freelance artist who just needs a cool place to draw.

Of course, the café turns out to be less about deadlines and more about the people who keep showing up there. Between paying jobs and whatever's unfolding across the tables, freelancing gets complicated fast.

The loop is straightforward: keep your cash flow steady enough to stay afloat while you pursue the woman who's caught your eye. Work, flirt, spend, repeat, with the café as the fixed point you keep returning to.
