The road

 The sun was just beginning to peek over the horizon as Sarah stepped out of her car. She had been up since the crack of dawn, and the only thing that was keeping her going was the promise of a hot cup of coffee. She had been driving for hours, and the only thing that was keeping her going was the thought of a warm cup of coffee.

She walked into the small cafe, the smell of freshly brewed coffee filling the air. She ordered her usual, a large black coffee, and took a seat at a small table in the corner. She sipped her coffee slowly, savoring the flavor and the warmth it brought.

As she sat there, she watched the other customers come and go. Some were there for a quick cup of coffee before work, while others were there to catch up with friends. She smiled as she watched the interactions, feeling a sense of peace and contentment.

The morning sun was now fully up, and Sarah finished her coffee. She felt energized and ready to take on the day. She thanked the barista and stepped out into the morning light. She had a long day ahead of her, but she was ready for it. All thanks to her morning coffee.
