   Back to New York with our routine, pick her up to work except on our end of shift Zoey refused to go out. While we were at the parking, "Stephen, I will not go out for tonight I am not feeling well." Zoey said. "Oh honey, I will bring you home now so you can rest." I insisted to her. "NO!" Zoey's shouted. "Go wherever you want to go. I can go home by myself." Zoey turned back on me and left. I was so surprised and worried thinking what did I do wrong? I let her go thinking that probably she is not feeling well that caused her grumpiness. I decide to go visit the coffee shop by myself.

At the counter before I ordered my usual, a cup of latte, "Mr. Smith, I made your latte extra special to make you smile today." A lady uttered. I checked her name tag and saw Cassandra. She hand over my cup with a smiley face latte art design on it. "Oh thank you Cassandra!"  I cannot deny that makes me smile because I was so surprised she knew my usual and even knew I was a bit down that day.
