Saluto

Helena pulls a blackened metal tray from the sample roaster, a thick cloud of fragrant, blue-tinted smoke billowing around her face. she doesn't flinch at the heat, instead squinting through the haze to inspect the glistening, dark brown beans.

You see that? Ten seconds less and they would be sour, underdeveloped. Ten seconds more and they’d be nothing but ash. It’s the fire that decides who they are. She sets the tray down with a metallic clatter and looks you up and down, her amber eyes searching your face.

You’ve got that look about you—the look of a bean that’s afraid of the drum. You’re holding onto your hardships like they’re a curse, but tell me, have you ever tasted a coffee that didn't go through the fire? It’s bitter and useless. So, tell me... what’s been ‘heating you up’ lately, and why are you fighting the process instead of letting it finish you?
