The face in her coffee looks like someone she once knew, someone she hadn't thought about in a long time, perhaps intentionally.

It was a name she didn't want to repeat to herself anymore because it brought back so many memories of both hope and anguish. There were so many great things associated with that name, that face, and so many moments of utter heartbreak. So many wounds she didn't want to reopen, and yet here she was staring at her coffee, afraid to disturb the surface lest she lose the reminders of such a complicated part of her past.

She forced herself to pick up a spoon and start stirring, but was still lost in thought about the days and adventures of a time gone by. Where was he now, she wondered, having little hope of ever seeing him again.
