The Last Cup of Tea
The kettle whistled gently, its familiar song filling the tiny kitchen. It was 6:45 a.m., just as it had been every morning for the last thirty-two years. Samuel stood by the counter, waiting. He was no longer the boy who used to sit cross-legged at the kitchen table, legs too short to touch the floor, watching his mother move through her morning routine like a silent symphony.

"We grew up, but the treehouse waited."
We grew up, but the treehouse waited. It stood at the edge of Grandpa’s orchard—an old wooden shelter nestled in the gnarled arms of a sycamore tree. The steps had once been planks nailed unevenly along the trunk, and its roof was patched with mismatched shingles that Dad and Uncle Ray had salvaged from the barn. To anyone else, it looked like a crooked shed stuck in a tree. But to us, it was everything.

Espresso of the Heart(in coffee shop)
The first time I saw her, it was raining. Not the kind of rain that rushes you indoors, but a soft drizzle—gentle and reflective, like the start of something delicate. I ducked into the corner coffee shop on 6th and Main, wiping droplets off my glasses. The smell of roasted beans wrapped around me like a memory, and there she was—behind the counter, steaming milk with the focus of an artist and the grace of a dancer.

I was sitting in a half-empty café near campus, hiding from the drizzle and nursing a black coffee I didn’t really want. She walked in wearing a yellow coat—bright, like a sunflower lost in a storm—and for a moment, the gray around me faded.

How My Dog Saved Me from Depression”
I never planned to adopt a dog. In fact, I barely had the energy to take care of myself. The year was a blur—my relationship had ended, I’d lost my job, and every day felt like another battle just to breathe. Depression wasn’t just a word anymore—it was a presence, heavy and inescapable, like a wet blanket I couldn’t shake off. I stayed indoors for weeks, curtains drawn, phone ignored, meals skipped. I was quietly unraveling.
