Coffee Quote by Myra McEntire
““Michael put the paper down and leaned across the table toward me, unexpectedly intense. "What do you want?" "I already ordered an espresso," I answered, reflexively leaning back. "No, I mean what do you want from life?" "Good morning to you, too. Isn't it a little early for philosophy?””
