Twas a Cold Winter Eve
Bacon sizzled in the background, and steam swirled from the untouched coffee cups between the elderly couple.

Meet-cute at the Corner Table
She hurries into the dimly lit coffee shop with a battered laptop pinched between her elbow and side, shedding raindrops from her jacket.
