NYC Cafe Employees Love Story Tweets Co-Worker Romance

Photographed by Alexandra Gavillet.

Imagine a world where the famous card scene from Love Actually resulted in the blossoming of a romantic relationship. Now imagine if their story ended with a little more than a chaste "thank-you" kiss.

That's the Christmas miracle that one Twitter user witnessed at a café on Saturday afternoon. (Okay, maybe not exactly, but we couldn't resist the chance to reference Love Actually.) Over the weekend, Twitter user Jerry happened to be the only person at a café when one employee decided that it was time she told her coworker that she had feelings for him. So naturally, Jerry live-tweeted the conversation.

— Jerry (@notjerryclayton) December 18, 2016

Acquired refill, the guy is nowhere to be found

Just when it looked as if we'd be kept in suspense, the ball dropped, in the best way possible.

HE JUST CAME FROM THE BACK AND KISSED HER HOLY SHIT

"I didn't want to admit it to myself but I've always had a thing for you" THIS IS NOT HAPPENING
— Jerry (@notjerryclayton) December 18, 2016

The real golden moment came, however, when the employees turned to include Jerry in their love story.

They just asked me if it was okay if they left for a few minutes OF COURSE ITS OKAY
— Jerry (@notjerryclayton) December 18, 2016

The girl brought me a free muffin for "dealing with them" MA'AM IT WAS AN HONOR
— Jerry (@notjerryclayton) December 18, 2016

I'm leaving now because they're closing but tonight has firmly renewed my faith in humanity LOVE IS OUT THERE, BE LIKE CAFÉ GIRL AND FIND IT
— Jerry (@notjerryclayton) December 18, 2016
