How do you take it? by Robert LiPuma — book cover

Free · Chapter one · 7 minutes 53 seconds

How Do You Take It?

A love story told in thirty cups of coffee. I wrote it about two things I cherish: love and coffee. Here is chapter one, read aloud. Press play. It’s free, and there’s nothing to sign up for.

What the story is about

For twenty-two years, he has fixed his wife’s coffee every morning of their marriage — blue mug, cream, one sugar, spoon, two turns, tap the rim. Then one October Saturday, she doesn’t pick up the cup.

It’s about the difference between serving someone and seeing them.
