Narrator: You hear two flatmates talking about giving up coffee. Man: So how's the no-coffee month going, Jess? You look quite cheerful for someone on day nine. Woman: Do I? The first three days I had a terrible headache, but I'd read that would happen, so I was ready for it. It's gone now. Man: And are you sleeping better? That was the whole point, wasn't it? Woman: I was hoping so, but honestly, there's no difference yet. Maybe it takes longer. The funny thing is, I don't miss the taste at all. I've found a herbal tea that's actually quite nice. What I really miss is the ten minutes in the café on the corner before work, chatting to the owner while he makes it. I still walk past and feel a bit sad. Man: You could just go in and order tea. Woman: I suppose I could!
