"Oh, you don't have to..."
the woman at the counter said.
The woman was smiling and it seemed genuinely appreciative as she said "Thanks,"
Emily returned her smile, also genuine. It felt good to smile. The small deed had helped push away some of her sadness. Some of it still lingered in the back of her mind, but she felt more at ease.
"It's really no big deal, but you're welcome."
Emily paid the man at the counter for both beverages and as the man went to fill their order the woman spoke again. "It's cold out, huh"
Emily responded by trying to hide a yawn. She was polite, but the jet lag was terrible. "Excuse me."
Emily said politely for the yawn. "Yes, it's a little bit brisk out there. I wouldn't expect any less in Moscow around this time though."
Emily said it with a smirk as the server brought out two cups of steaming coffee. Emily removed her gloves and picked up her cup, feeling grateful for the heat. She sipped at it and was glad that it was good coffee.
She moved her cup to her left hand and offered the woman her right. "I'm Emily"
