Murmured voices break the silence To my right a cute couple clink their wine glasses together in a celebratory toast. Off to the left, an older gentleman engages an old-ish lady in whispered conversation. I’m guessing he’s whispering sweet nothings to his bride. The well dressed young man standing at the bar survey’s the crowd, looking restless. He seems to be waiting for… Ah, that beautiful girl that just walked in. Her eyes light up, his face breaks into a big smile. I love the ambience of this old place. Red carpets, dim lights, candles flickering in every direction. My time here is almost done. I only need some sugar for this last cup of coffee.

My Last Cup of Coffee
Murmured voices break the silence To my right a cute couple clink their wine glasses together in a celebratory toast. Off to the left, an older gentleman engages an old-ish lady in whispered conversation. I’m guessing he’s whispering sweet nothings to his bride. The well dressed young man standing at the bar survey’s the crowd, looking restless. He seems to be waiting for… Ah, that beautiful girl that just walked in. Her eyes light up, his face breaks into a big smile. I love the ambience of this old place. Red carpets, dim lights, candles flickering in every direction. My time here is almost done. I only need some sugar for this last cup of coffee.
My prompts for today were the words sweet, chocolate, indulgence and sugar. I struggled with this, but as I sit on my couch with the Coffitivity app playing in my headphones, it came to me. I hope you enjoy it.
