Rifter (The Survival Project Duology book 1)
“If she’d thought the coffee she had at the hostel was good, this one was off the scale. Now, she knew why Kerry had given her that disbelieving look when she’d sat there savouring every mouthful of her drink that morning. It had been weak and insipid compared to this.
She took a closer look at what Kerry had ordered. It was still coffee, or so the menu said — a menu for coffee? It was piled with cream and sprinkles of something that looked like chocolate. There was so much else in the cup that ...she didn’t suppose you could even taste the coffee anymore, if you could find it. He’d offered her a sip, but she’d refused. She had a feeling her stomach might reject a mixture that rich. Actually, she was certain it would and it wouldn’t be the done thing to throw up in a respectable place where other people were eating and drinking. That was one sure-fire way to draw unwanted attention.
She nibbled at the plain shortbread biscuit she’d chosen, plain because, again, she didn’t want anything too rich.MoreLess
