When unspeakable grief rocks their world, two strangers discover that comfort can be found in silence, a sprinkling of cinnamon and each other. 
_
Maddy's weekends are set in stone, and she shares them with a stranger.
They arrive at Coffee Club, their local cafe, for 1pm and sit at a table made for three. Like the number of chairs, there are three unspoken rules for their visit:

1. You don't say a word
2. You take turns buying the third drink
3. You leave when the sun has set

Invisible String Of Love  by Autumn_Girl_Writes
11 parts Ongoing Mature
In the dimly lit waiting room of the therapist's office, a young woman sits with tense shoulders and determined eyes. She's just come out of her session-relieved, but still tangled in a quiet storm. She's a survivor of a traumatic kidnapping, and it shows-not in scars, but in the way she carries herself. Small in stature, yes, but you can feel the simmering anger beneath her skin, forged by everything she's been through and everything no one helped her fix. Across the room, another person waits. Quieter. Equally haunted. She fidgets, eyes darting, unable to stay still for long. There's history in her posture-years of growing up around violence, chaos, and never feeling safe. Her ADHD doesn't help; her mind's a pinball machine of thoughts, never landing, always spinning. When the first woman rises to leave, their eyes meet. Just for a second. Long enough to say everything words can't. "He's not really helping us, is he?" she murmurs under her breath. The other just nods. Silent. Knowing. Maybe they weren't supposed to meet again. But fate-messy, unpredictable fate-had other plans. Another day. Another place. Same ache in their bones. Something soft begins to grow between them. Tentative. Delicate. Real. They don't pretend it'll be easy, but in each other, they spot the flicker of something rare: hope. The kind that dares to whisper of healing, of peace, maybe even of love. "Even if we've only known each other a few months, it feels like I could tell you anything. Everything. From my darkest secrets to the dumbest memes. From late-night thoughts to chaotic brain farts. I don't know-It just feels right." -Clementine Sousa

I was walking into my favourite coffee shop (I'm bias as I co-own it) but there was a huge crowd about five minutes down the street. I thought 'strange' I own any character except Henry I also own the plot
