Prompt: Coffee
Chris stumbles into the kitchen, her nightgown and hair a mess and eyes closed. She knows the way to her place at his kitchen table without even looking now, and that makes Braeda’s heart glad in a way he never thought possible.
He glances at the clock and notices it’s almost noon. Regardless, he’s frying up some potato cakes and eggs, and he asks her, “Did you sleep alright?”
Chris says nothing, doesn’t even open her eyes. She only holds up her bare hand in a gesture for him to hold the questions until after she’s had some coffee. Her non-verbals delight him to no end and he apologizes as he fixes her a cup of black goodness with cream and five sugars.
He sits the cup down and at last her green eyes open just a smidge. She lifts the cup with the Grand Oatmeal logo on it to her lips and blows across the scalding surface before taking a sip.
“Ahhh,” she breathes. “Perfect. And I slept very well, thank you.”
He watches her reach for her cigarettes and he smiles. “Good to hear it, Sweetheart.”
