"An americano, love. Two shots."
☕︎
Alice Valtýrsdottír, a reserved woman with dreams of being an art gallery director, encounters Aleksander Nikolovski, a brooding artist in the same art school, at the coffeehouse she works at.
While they seem different at first glance, one as subtle and sweet as a cappucino, the other as bitter and dark as espresso, they have more in common deep down. Just like their coffee choices, one has a dark side that is buried in shyness and one has a sweeter side that takes a little work to achieve.

The Picture in My Locket
London's chilly weather has to be one of my favourites. Especially when walking through the streets at night with almost no one around. The silence of the empty city is only heard by one of my ears as I have one AirPod in. I finally go inside the pharmacy, making my way to the hair products aisle. Picking up a vanilla-scented pair of shampoo and conditioner, I head to the self-checkout. I pay for my purchase and walk out the automatic doors, bumping into someone almost instantly. The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground startled me and I look over to the person asking if they're okay, I'm met with the green-eyed gaze of a man who held my arm to help me not fall like the thing that was on his back, which looks like a guitar case... Is it broken?! - This story is based on the song "No One Knows" by Stephen Sanchez featuring Laufey. - Lana decided to enjoy her early 20s as a physical education student and just moved to London, but only knows Charlotte, a girl she met during a trip to the city almost a decade ago.
