Story:

It was a chilly morning when Anna decided to stop by her favorite café on the corner of the street. She had been working all week and needed a break. As soon as she entered, the warm smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, making her smile.

"Good morning! What can I get for you today?" asked the barista, a young woman with a friendly smile.

"Hi! I’d like a cappuccino, please," Anna said, glancing at the menu above the counter. "And could you also add a croissant?"

"Sure, would you like your cappuccino small or large?" the barista asked.

"Large, please," Anna replied. "And I’ll have it to go."

The barista quickly prepared her drink and handed it to her with a warm smile. «Here you go! That’ll be 5.50 dollars.»

Anna paid for her order and said, "Thank you. How much is the croissant?"

«That’ll be 2.50 dollars,» the barista replied.

Anna paid and took her cappuccino and croissant. "Thanks a lot!" she said, then headed for the door. As she stepped outside, she felt the cool breeze, but the warmth of the coffee in her hands made everything feel just right.

She walked a few steps, found a bench, and sat down, taking a moment to enjoy her coffee and the quiet of the morning. The café was one of her favorite places to relax, whether it was alone or with friends.
