The Table Is Yours
I set the table. The conversation belongs to whoever’s sitting at it.

Willow House - Takita
I set up at a two-top at Willow House in Raleigh. Before I’d fully settled in, someone sat down across from me.
I didn’t invite her. She just, sat.
Her name is Takita. She works in marketing and believes that at its best, marketing is about human connection. Not reach. Not metrics. The real thing.
She sat down at a table built for exactly that before I had a chance to explain what the show was.

- Coffee On Raiford - BlaiseBlaise is twenty-three years old.
At some point in our conversation he was telling me about growing up — him and his brother going out to play, the way kids do. His brother got hurt. And Blaise said, almost without thinking about it — that’s just what you did. You went out. Sometimes you got hurt.
He’s twenty-three. And he already understands that you can’t control everything. - Sosta Cafe - JenniferI set up at a table. I ordered my drink. I waited. Nobody sat down.
The room was full of conversations I wasn’t part of. I had my phone recording the whole time. After a few hours something shifted — not dramatically, just quietly. I was packing up when Jennifer started talking.
Jennifer owns the shop. She knew I was recording. She said yes.
