Writing Prompt: Coffee and a muffin
In his book Couplehood, comedian Paul Reiser observed that people need an excuse to hang out together, and coffee provides that excuse: the hot beverage, plus the obligatory cookie or pastry, gives some purpose to the meeting and helps occupy people during conversational lulls.
Write a scene where two people meet for coffee and conversation. If you want a challenge, make the conversation stilted and demonstrate what the people do to avoid talking.
