The smell of freshly brewed espresso, the whir of the grinder, the clinking of ceramic cups – these were the sounds and smells that used to fill Amelia's kitchen. Her children, now grown and gone, had often teased her about her coffee obsession. Now, her daughter, Chloe, had set up her own small coffee cart at the local farmers market. Amelia visited Chloe regularly, her heart swelling with pride at the sight of her daughter expertly crafting lattes and cappuccinos. She felt an almost electric current running through her. Today, she helped Chloe at the cart, her hands moving with a familiar grace, sharing her coffee wisdom.
