Love Amidst Chaos

Youre sitting in a coffee shop sipping on a late while two people behind you carry on a conversation that sounds like an email would’ve sufficed. The barista making their coffee smiles as she hands over the cup filled to the brim with what you’d later find to be the only coffee order you care to remember. You eye them from across the shop and feel the need to close your laptop and at the very least, say hello. Ten years down the line and you’ve got an amazing partner and some annoying but still amazing children and you think to yourself, “Wow, good thing I had that mocha all those years ago.”
