Coffee, the angel's game

 
 
 
 

"When she returned with the steaming coffee, I had just read the last page. Isabella sat down opposite me. I smiled and slowly sipped the delicious brew. The girl wrung her hands and gritted her teeth, glancing now and then at the pages of her story, which I had left face down on the table. She held out for a couple of minutes without saying a word.

'And?' she said at last.

'Superb.'

Her face lit up.

'My story?'

'The coffee.'"

 

From The Angel's Game, by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

    Coffee is poetry in this case indeed! From drinking coffee, poetry flowed naturally just like that thick juicy coffee juice flowing unto our body

    That conversation probably went south fast - unless he poured her a cup too.
