Coffee And Nostalgia

On my way, I stopped at an old diner, a familiar refuge from years ago. It was as if time had stood still; nothing had changed. I slid into a booth, ordered a coffee, and let my thoughts drift to sunlit mornings with Michael and Nicole, their laughter weaving through the air. Every corner of the diner seemed alive with memories, like an old friend embracing me in its comforting warmth. As I sipped my coffee, I found myself quietly holding on to the echoes of the past.

The waitress approached with a warm smile, her eyes catching my distant stare. “Rough day?” she asked softly. I managed a faint smile. “Something like that,” I murmured. She gave my hand a reassuring pat—a quiet, unspoken kindness that lightened the load on my shoulders, if only slightly. “Coffee’s on the house,” she said with a playful wink before moving on to the next table. That small gesture sparked a flicker of hope within me.
