Short sweet and sad.

A cafe that can allow you to travel back and forward in time for a limited period, just until your coffee is finished.

We follow 3 different stories, all with their own woes, the last one being a gut wrencher 😭

With many rules to follow to allow you to do this, the single most important rule, is don't let your coffee go cold!

I really enjoyed this story, and the narration was perfect for it.
