#SePTXCC17 Prompt 1: Coffee

"I think I miss our morning coffee routine the most." Scott confessed, staring into the distance. "I still remember some of your favorite orders; cold brew, soy latte, and just tea... I think I still order for two sometimes, even though..." he trailed off, closing his eyes with a sigh. "I can't wait to be with you, Mitchy. I can't wait to be complete-"

"Talking to papa, again?"

Scott tilted his head back and looked at his daughter, smiling sheepishly. This wasn't the first time she caught him and it wouldn't be the last.

She rolled her eyes at him, but her smile was fond. Elle might look like him, but she had all of Mitch's sass, intuition, and elegance.

He was grateful for it.

"Yeah." Mitch might no longer be with them, but at least Scott had a trace of his husband in his daughter. He could bear living couple of more years before he joined Mitchy in heaven.
