Echoes In The Room

Intro Mara sat alone at a corner table in the cozy café, her fingers wrapped around a steaming cup of tea. The world outside was a blur of strangers passing by, but here, in the gentle embrace of the café's warm light, she felt a rare sense of calm. It had been months since the divorce, and the evenings had stretched into a seemingly endless void. Yet, as she watched the steam dance upward, she found herself daring to hope. Maybe, just maybe, the loneliness was not a permanent state but a passing season. In the city's quiet glow, a new chapter seemed to whisper its arrival, inviting her to step into a future filled with unexpected possibilities.
