A Refuge
The remainder of the week continued as usual. Tara went to the café every single day, reading her book and drinking countless cups of coffee. The cozy atmosphere, the hum of quiet conversations, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee made her feel at peace, a stark contrast to the tension she often felt at home.
The café became her refuge, a place where she could forget about the house, her husband, and the mounting stress. She truly got to relax, letting her worries melt away with each sip of her favorite brew.
