A friend once told me about the time they missed their bus on a chilly morning. Frustrated, they wandered down the street and found a small café tucked between two buildings. With some time to kill, they stepped inside and ordered a coffee. The warm atmosphere and the smell of freshly baked pastries lifted their mood. As they sipped their drink, they struck up a conversation with the barista, who gave them a great book recommendation. They ended up staying for an hour, grateful for the missed bus that led to this unexpected cozy experience.
