Coffee Shop Confessions

Write a character who, for years, orders the same coffee in hopes of catching the attention of the barista they’re in love with.

Convey the character’s one-sided affection through the repetitive act of ordering the same coffee. What does the ordered coffee say about their hidden feelings? Does he/she ever confess to the barista? Examine the subtleties of unspoken emotions, the concept of forming affection through small, subtle interactions, and the quiet desperation that accompanies unrequited love.
