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 just pure confusion. A collection of funny, emotional, comforting, chaotic, and heart-fluttering one shots filled with teasing, tiny moments, loud fights, soft love, and unexpected feelings. Some are strangers. Some are best friends. Some are lovers. Some are heartbreak. But somehow, in every universe, they always find their way back to each other. Konjam kaadhal. Konjam comedy. Konjam confusion.

Sagara duduk di lantai bersandar pada sisi depan mobilnya. Tangannya mengambil sebungkus rokok dari saku celana lalu menyalakan satu batang perlahan. Api kecil dari korek sempat menerangi wajahnya beberapa detik sebelum kembali redup. Asap rokok keluar tipis dari bibirnya. Tatapannya lurus ke depan. Kosong. Di tempat sunyi seperti itu kadang pikirannya terasa jauh lebih berisik dibanding jalanan depan cafe. Tentang hidup. Tentang masa lalu. Tentang orang-orang yang sudah pergi. Tentang hal-hal yang berusaha tidak ia pikirkan setiap hari. Tangannya terangkat pelan menyentuh kap Estilo putih itu sebentar. Diam. Mobil itu sudah bersamanya lebih lama dibanding kebanyakan manusia dalam hidupnya. Dan anehnya... benda mati itu justru terasa lebih menetap dibanding siapa pun. Sagara mengembuskan asap rokok pelan sambil memejamkan mata beberapa detik. Tidak lama setelah itu ia bergegas untuk ke lantai dua. Rumah. Besok pagi alarm itu akan berbunyi lagi. Ia akan bangun lagi. Membuka REDA lagi. Dan hidup akan berjalan sama seperti biasanya.

Chrissy McAllister is tired of wolves. They're everywhere in Wolf Creek, Montana, where she's born and raised. They roam the plains outside her family's farm, and they're even the mascot of the town's university. She can't wait to leave the town and the wolves behind forever to attend grad school. However, her father's fragile mental state, which is exacerbated by the flock of wolves infringing on their lands, is making her second-guess her decision. When a wolf saunters into the coffee shop where she works, Chrissy is more annoyed than scared. But panic sets in when the animal won't leave. That's when Enid Sinclair-a grad student in town for a research project-steps into the shop. Using her knowledge of wolves, the focus of her studies, she convinces the animal to leave. Charmed by her savior, Chrissy can't keep away from Enid. They grow close, going on hikes and attending the town's wolf festival together. Chrissy is smitten. But she also can't let go of the suspicion that something isn't quite adding up about Enid's presence in Wolf Creek. Why is she so fascinated by wolves? Why is she able to communicate with them so well? And why won't she agree to go on a date during the full moon?
