See if you can get a coffee. But if you absolutely must pay too much for the tea experience, order a peppermint tea, stir a teaspoon of honey into it and pretend it's mead. Order toast and quote T. S. Eliot: And time yet for a hundred indecisions, And for a hundred visions and revisions, Before the taking of a toast and tea.Time for you and time for me,
She didn't even show up, haha. Unfortunately, what you mentioned wasn't there, so I grabbed "mint chai tea" as a funny novelty, because "chai" is just our Arabic word for tea. Nevertheless it was pretty good, and the shop was nice, so I may go there to study from now on.
Gah. That's annoying. I have bailed / pussied out / been too hungover / gotten a better offer and not met up but I always texted and typically pick up the phone and call. I usually feel that nagging regret about bailing later, but I would really hate myself if I ignored the person to avoid the situation. Shameful.
