[Out of the corner of her eye, Rey spotted someone coming towards her. She was prepared to put on a fake smile and give off a classic, 'fuck off' vibe if someone was going to try and chat her up. Just because she was sitting alone didn't mean people could come up to strike up a conversation. Unless it was an employee, then they deserved as much empathy and kindness as she had. Being a barista was a hard job, not something to look down upon at all.
Thankfully, she didn't have to resort to those tactics. The person she had been talking to online was here. Sure, she had hoped he would come but she was partially prepared for disappointment. After all, people of her generation were taught about 'stranger danger.' And, well, some people could be dicks and lead others on.
Not in this case.
Rey lifted her head from her phone, taking in all the black Diego wore. It suited him, she wasn't sure why, but it did.]
Hi. [She greeted, giving him a soft smile in return.] I didn't bring baggage, but I did buy a coffee, hope that's alright. [A (stupid) joke, meant to help ease the tension between them. Talking online was one thing, talking in person was a different ball game entirely.]

It's really nice to meet you, Diego.
