Today is your birthday. Do you want anything?" Steala's father asked her in his usual cold and emotionless tone.
Stella, who rarely dared to look into his eyes, kept her gaze downcast. His furrowed brows, stern face, and emotionless heart made it difficult for her to meet his gaze.
"I... I just want to have coffee with you. That's all I... I want," Stella replied, stammering as usual.
Then a smile—one that had never bloomed before—appeared on his face.
"But I'll make the coffee," he said.

Golden Time of Day
When the snow melted, the spring air brought the pungent smell of trees blooming. Their pinks and fuchsias and whites created a panoply of color. Sedgwick Vorman, 39, carried the flowers in the same way to the same grave at the turn of the season. His skin looked like chestnuts and his strong cheek bones and hands shot through the neck and the sleeves of his designer jacket. He dusted off the marker and replaced the flowers. He set up a blanket and a beach chair. He then opened the newspaper. News about the worst day in stock market history since the 1929 crash alerted his attention as he turned on the radio.

I love how that simple coffee request melts a long time of distance and quietness—it's quietly beautiful and moving! ❤ And the way this short microfication catches eye is beautiful ✨
Such a heart warming and beautiful scene...loved it

This is a good. Two people just having coffee and not saying anything. Just enjoy being together no words necessary.
