Cafè

It's been a rough morning
I woke up late
My kids missed the bus
I dropped them off with a single peice of toast for breakfast.

I look a mess
I didn't have time to brush my hair.

But that doesn't stop me from going into the cafè

I order my usual latte
I think the barista noticed my tired eyes and distressed look
I sit down at a table near a window
I read my online book
It's my escape

The barista brings me the latte in the little coffee cup
And I see a little heart made with the steamed milk on the surface

I smile
It was the first genuine one I had all day
Such a small gesture
Can go a long way
