This story was originally designed to participate in the contest, as I do every week, but unfortunately a power outage left me without electricity for 12 hours and did not let me publish it on time, but since I already had it written with the drawing finished I wanted to share it with you as a normal post, because I know you will also like it. A big hug to all my coffee loving friends.

It all starts on a Saturday night

Finally, I have finished my shift on the job I have always loved, even though to many people it might seem tedious and tiring, I do it every day with the best of dispositions because I love coffee, so practicing my art by drawing pictures on the coffees I serve every day to brighten up the moment for people gives me satisfaction too.

However, the crowd I served today was not something normal, that event at the theater with the new play attracted a lot of public, they say that the protagonist is a very young girl with a great future in the movies, who knows maybe fate will allow me to meet her someday and draw her something in the coffee, so she can give me an autograph. Well, it's time to have dinner and rest, thank goodness the chef is a good friend and has prepared a magnificent dinner for me to enjoy alone at the table in the corner while the others prepare everything to close.

What a wonderful dish they made for me and the dessert could not be better, a Sicilian style tiramisu, a real feat in the world of coffee based desserts which I will calmly savor with this cup of hot coffee to replenish my energy. Suddenly something catches my attention, the little bell over the door announces the entrance of a new customer, something quite rare at this hour just before closing, my curious look goes in that direction to find out who it is, oh wow what a great surprise, it is a very young girl almost my age, she is really beautiful and delicate, how lucky I am to be able to admire her even in the distance.

She sits at the table right in front of me, even though the whole cafeteria is already empty, apparently she likes to admire the view of the street as much as I do, with dissimulation I watch her, but I'm sure she didn't even notice my presence when she entered and much less how impressed I am with her beauty that prevents me from looking away, from her pocket she takes out a phone that looks very expensive, it is really nice decorated in pink color ideal for a girl of her age.

Suddenly, she starts to play on her phone a melody that attracts me as much as she does, it is the song Carry on Wayward Son by the band Kansas which I always liked because I have listened to it with my father since I was just a child, and it brings me very good memories. Again, the magic of this music opens the doors to a possibility that could change my life, so I look at the girl who had the volume quite high, concentrating on the song and with a smile I say good night, that song is really special.

She gets a little scared and jumps up putting her hands on her chest, excusing herself for the reaction, but she hadn't noticed my presence, she was just enjoying the rock tune to celebrate her big success that night. I introduced myself as the owner of this coffee shop that I inherited from my father, and she did the same, telling me that she was the star of the play, which gave me great excitement, as fate and magic once again brought great things together opening a world of possibilities in that night of laughter and enchantment, where the two of us talked for a long time eating Tiramisu dessert and drinking coffee.
