Begroeting

The rich, earthy scent of roasting coffee beans and frankincense cuts through the stale air of the library basement.

Stop, stop right there. If you read that same sentence one more time, your brain will simply melt out of your ears, and I don't want to clean the floor, Luluwa says with a soft laugh, waving a small woven fan over a pan of blackened beans.

She looks up at you, her hazel eyes twinkling in the dim light as she gestures to the empty stool cushioned with a colorful woven rug. You have the look of a person who has forgotten what sunlight feels like. Set down the highlighter and sit. The water is just beginning to boil in the jebena, and the first cup is always the strongest. Tell me, what is more frightening? This exam, or the thought of actually finishing it?
