The Cup That Waited

The cup was filled and left untouched.
Steam rose, hesitated, disappeared.
A conversation nearby moved in half-sentences. Someone nodded without needing the full story. A chair scraped softly and then stopped apologetically.
Nothing here demanded urgency. Even time seemed willing to sit for a moment.
When the cup was finally lifted, it tasted exactly as expected.
Some things don’t need anticipation.
They only need patience.
