A cup of coffee

It was snowing hard in Seattle. As a child, one of her fondest dreams used to be walking in the snow, all alone. But now, everything seemed out of the place. All she wished now was to get back to the cosy warm room and have a cup of coffee.


"How do you drink your coffee so hot? Coffee tastes best when at room temperature." He said.
That was one of their first meetings in the cafe.
"Hmm..atleast this be one topic where I know as much as you?You have it as dull and as cool as always. And I will have it hot. Hot strong and sweet". She smiled.

They always met for coffee. And they discussed coffee. Not that they did not have anything more interesting to talk about, but every time they met over a cup of coffee, they would go on talking so long about the coffee that by the time, it would be time for her to leave.

It was always she who had to take the leave first. Even on the messenger window, their discussions would go on, until she said bye. This time too, it was her who had to take the leave.

As she poured the hot coffee into the cup and left it to to cool, she was wondering....miles away, he must be having his coffee, steaming hot and wondering who taught him to drink coffee so hot!
