Coffee Stories

"Bridget Jones with a lot more wine! This story is hilarious, feel-good and relatable in all the best ways!" - Grace K @ HQ. She's just quit her high-flying job, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Can Alice find a sense of purpose in the wreckage? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Forcing herself into action with a rash resignation, Alice sets out to make a positive impact on the world around her. But how? Meditation leads to napping, and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that leaves her at a loss. As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system -- can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover?

Some stories are soft. Some are chaotic. And some are simply impossible to explain. A collection of little moments filled with laughter, emotions, misunderstandings, unexpected feelings, and a whole lot of confusion. Different stories. Different kinds of love. What happens in each one? Well... konjam kaadhal, konjam comedy, konjam confusion. Let's see where each story takes us.

Tim Bradford runs LA's biggest real estate empire and after a brutal, public divorce, he's decided love isn't worth it. He doesn't do soft. He doesn't do coffee. Then he meets Lucy. Nineteen, broke, working the counter of a shop two blocks from his office, completely unbothered by his reputation. He starts showing up every morning for coffee he doesn't even like. She starts looking forward to seeing him more than she'll admit. An empire built on control. A girl who won't be handled like one of his deals. A seventeen-year gap neither of them can outrun.

A man has a chance encounter with a beautiful woman at a coffee shop which leads to something beautiful growing.

Leaving Boston was supposed to be the hard part. At twenty-three, Marlowe Lawson arrives in London with two suitcases, a prestigious surgical training position at St Thomas' Hospital, and every intention of starting over. A new city. A new career. A chance to build a life that's entirely her own. She isn't looking for friendship. She definitely isn't looking for love. She's simply trying to survive impossibly long shifts, navigate a city she's never lived in, and convince herself that leaving home was the right decision. The last thing she expects is the quiet man living next door. Reserved. Private. Impossible to read. To the rest of the world, he's Harry Styles. To Marlowe, he's simply the neighbour she passes in the hallway every morning. As chance encounters become familiar routines and ordinary moments begin to mean everything, two strangers slowly discover that sometimes the people who change your life don't arrive with grand gestures-they arrive with a quiet "morning," a shared cup of coffee, and the feeling that, for the first time in a long time, you're finally home. A story about finding yourself, finding each other, and discovering that solace isn't always a place. Sometimes... it's a person. 🥉#apartment 10th #harrystyles

Ezra Blackwood doesn't believe in fate. People don't magically appear in your life. Lock eyes with you across a crowded dance floor, disappear into the night, then somehow keep finding their way back to you. New York is too big for that. So when the same quiet blond stranger keeps crossing his path, Ezra tells himself it's coincidence. It has to be. Because the guy is impossible to figure out. He's kind. Funny in a quiet sort of way. Brilliant. Completely unforgettable. Ezra, on the other hand, knows how to read a room before anyone speaks. He can negotiate billion-dollar deals without breaking a sweat and build an empire from nothing without losing himself in the process. He knows exactly who he is. Or at least, he thought he did. But half the time, Ezra isn't even sure this quiet stranger is interested in men-let alone him.

Because Ezra Blackwood has spent his entire life learning how to stay in control. Until Jae Seo. ~Welcome to my new story~
