The Curing Coffee

Kendra: Rough day?

Anthony: The roughest. Have you ever had a time in your life that you wish you could have a complete do-over?

Kendra: Absolutely. I'm sorry you feel down, I know exactly how you feel.

Anthony: Did you have a bad day too?

Kendra: Well...

Anthony: I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked, it isn't really any of my business.

Kendra: No, it's really okay! I think that I need to talk about it, it would be good for me to do that.

Anthony: Alright, well, what happened?

Kendra: On one condition...

Anthony: Of course.

Kendra: You have to tell me what's wrong with you too.

Anthony: Deal.

Kendra: I've only been living here in New York for seven months, and I have already lost three jobs. My grandmother lives here and she is getting really sick, so I decided to move here to be with her. I'm trying to make enough money to supply for both of us, but I spend more time looking for jobs, than working them.

Anthony: I am truly sorry to hear that, you will find the right job for you, I know it. And your grandmother is going to be okay, she has you by her side, and you seem to be a very passionate, and determined woman.

Kendra: Thank you very much sir, I'm afraid I don't even know your name.

Anthony: Anthony, and you are?

Kendra: Kendra, very nice to meet you Anthony.

Anthony: Very nice to meet you as well.

Kendra: So, I told you...Now you tell me what's got you down.

Anthony: Me and my wife are going to be getting a divorce. We have been married for eight years, and I was deceived for all eight of them. Today I found out that my wife has been cheating on me with the same man, throughout our entire marriage. We got married so young, nineteen, we were so in love. It was high-school sweetheart type stuff, ya know? Maybe we rushed into it? I don't know. I thought everything was fine, it seemed that life couldn't be better.

Kendra: Anthony, I am so sorry. I cannot believe somebody would do that to you. My dad cheated on my mother when I was three years old, they're divorced now of course, but I don't even really remember my dad. I am so sorry this happened to you. You seem like you would be a fantastic husband, and I'm sure you are, if she can't see that, then that is her fault.

Anthony: Thank you very much Kendra, that means a lot. I wish I had met someone like you in high school.

Kendra: Well is it too late?

Anthony: Very good question. I don't think so.

Kendra: Well who knows!

Anthony: I definitely don't!

Kendra: Mean either! No way to figure out if it's too late or not.

Anthony: Kendra?

Kendra: Yes?

Anthony: Do you think you'd like to grab a cup of coffee sometime?

Kendra: I would love that!

Anthony: See? Not too late.
