A Better Life With Coffee

"You know, I have something very important to tell you. My grandfather shared this with me as his dying words. It has guided me through life to this day," Caleb announced.
By that point, my eyes were saucers. The thought that he was speaking nonsense didn't cross my mind.
"Well, alright, Tick, tell me!"
"You're ruining the dramatic effect. It's the secret to life, Perkins! Treat it with respect."
Caleb made me do a drum roll before he leaned in and began to whisper.
"My grandfather told me..." Caleb murmured. "A cup of coffee a day keeps the doctor away."
My nose wrinkled with disappointment. "That's it?"
"That's it."
"You got me all excited for nothing."
"It's the truth!"
"I think you just ruined this date."
Caleb smirked. "I thought it wasn't a date."
I felt a blush creep up my cheeks. "Oh, shut up."
Caleb's eyes gleamed as he picked up his thermos of coffee and took a long sip.
"Alright, Perkins. Alright."
