Plot summary

Kristjan is sitting in his usual spot in a cafe, slowly start- ing to get nervous, because Nora is unusually late. When she finally arrives, Kristjan gets ready to meet the girl he has been wanting to get to know for weeks. But his plans are interrupted by the arrival of Taavi, how is apparently Noras’ boyfriend.
Disappointed Kristjan is watching the couple as they start fighting. While observing Nora and Taavi he fails to notice Saara, who is working in the cafe and has been trying to get his attention. When Kristjan finally decides it’s his time to leave and asks for the check, he sees that Saara is writing something and pressing her lips on the check. When Nora rushes away from the table, Saara gives a check to Taavi while obviously flirting with him. Kristjan also receives his check after Taavi has left.
When shattered Nora finally returns to her table, Krist- jan makes his move and in moments hesitation speaks about what he saw earlier. Opposite to the reaction Kristjan waited, Nora breaks her teacup and leaves the cafe.
Kristjan is trying to wipe the table, and sets his check in the pool of tea. Saara comes to help him clean up, find- ing a check with her own writing: 50910550 SAARA
