It was a Monday morning and - while you were always organised and on top of everything - today was seemingly not your day. You had forgotten your umbrella and almost got soaked on your commute to work and you didn’t get the chance to make breakfast or stop at your favourite cafe for a quick snack.

So, you went into work with a bit of misfortune today.

Your coworkers seemed to take notice of this uncharacteristic change in your organisation but you reassured them to save yourself the embarrassment of being doted on like a child.

Elijah, one particular coworker of yours who rarely spoke to anyone, let alone you, returned from his lunch break earlier than everyone and set a takeaway coffee cup on your desk.

The fragrant smell of ground coffee bean mixed into a warm cup made you look up at the person who put it there.

The gesture had caught you off guard and as you spoke up to thank him, he walked off in silence.
