He’ll have what she’s having
He invites her to coffee, but knows she’ll order tea.
He’s over-caffeinated, edgy. He falls for impulse purchases at convenience stores, pills with names like Vigor-X and Buzzy Bees.
He downs energy drinks with warning labels for pregnant and nursing women.
He’ll have the tea.
And forget to mention the pot of espresso roast he mainlined at home.

It is hard to break habits, I think.
Nice piece. Me likes. Was that a Yerba Mate tea?
