Coffee Break Calm
I stepped into a quaint coffee shop next to the jeweler’s, seeking a warm cup to steady my nerves. “Just a latte,”

I told the barista, trying to sound more relaxed than I felt. As I sat sipping my drink, I replayed Robert’s surprised look in my mind.
What was it about the ring that seemed to catch him off guard? Curiosity tingled but I kept enjoying my pause.
