Setting the cup back onto the bar,
he stares with blank eyes.

Two drops of caramel appear on the still surface of the coffee.

He looks away and the drops of caramel vanishes.

Looking up toward the ceiling with half open eyes,
as if he has just woken up,
he thinks.

Deeply.

Truly...

how long has it been since I've fallen for her...

Five?

Six years?

No... it has been longer than that.
