Writer's Workshop - How the Affair Began

3) How did your love affair with Coffee begin?

I was never a coffee lover.

In fact,

I hated it!

I remember a time in university,

my mate treated me to breakfast.

It included a coffee.

I put seven sugars in it,

and it still tasted horrid.

Tea was always my drink of choice.

Upon my return to Dar from Canada

after Ethan was born,

I started going to a little cafe with some mates. 

Getting tea was often a bore,

so I started ordering mochachinos. 

I remember asking the waitress to put more chocolate

and less coffee.

Then a year after Ethan was born,

we went on vacation to England.

My brother, a bunch of cousins and I all headed to Starbucks.

My brother ordered a vanilla latte.

Being a vanilla fan, 

I thought I'd try it.

I was hooked!!!!

The next time we went,

I ordered my own latte.

Upon my return to Dar,

I switched from mochachinos

to lattes.

Ah, my lattes.

Oh, think I should get one now.
