Simon has a small apartment in LA. It’s just him, he doesn’t need a lot. But he picked a thriving neighborhood because he liked being in the midst of life. People were always on the street, shops and restaurants were on his doorstep or, at least, within a few blocks walk. And it was on the bus line to the dance studio he rehearsed in. All in all, very ideal.

Of course, he has his favorite places. Especially for coffee. There’s a place Simon found about two blocks away he really enjoyed. Over the last few years, he’s become something of a mid-morning regular. Latte and an apple turnover, every time without fail. He liked to sit there and people-watch. He never seemed to be in a hurry when he gets there, or particularly rushed to leave.
