Rain lashed against the windows of the coffee shop, but Clara felt impervious. She practically vibrated with anticipation as she waited for her friend, Liam. He was late, but she didn’t mind. She’d ordered a double espresso, the caffeine coursing through her veins like electricity. The ceramic mug warmed her palms, a pleasing contrast to the coolness of the day. A text arrived: “Sorry, running late! Urgent family matter." Clara frowned, a flicker of uncertainty crossing her face, but she swiftly dismissed it. Today was about possibilities, about the future.
