I stand sleepless, staring at the coffee machine in front of me. The coffee slowly dripped into the coffee pot mug, its heat creating some steam. I sit on one of the stools and lay my elbows on the counter as I glance around the kitchen expectantly. I bit my lip and look down, a knowing feeling dawning on me, I miss them. I close my eyes and breathe in, trying to ground myself. It’s ok I tell myself, they’re happier now. I stand up as the coffee is done and pour it into my cup, place some creamer and sugar onto it then mix.
