The clock struck 5pm and as if on cue, Fern’s heart skipped a beat. This was the moment she had been waiting for all day. The moment when she could finally escape the confines of her office and indulge in the simple joys of life. The moment when she could shed the responsibilities of work and slip into the comfort of her own thoughts.
She grabbed her bag and hastily made her way out of the building, a feeling of anticipation bubbling inside her chest. The streets were alive with the hustle and bustle of city life, but Fern felt a sense of calm wash over her as she walked towards her favorite coffee shop. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, welcoming her like an old friend.
Sitting down at a corner table, Fern took a deep breath and savored the moment. This was her time, her sanctuary. With a contented smile, she took a sip of her hot beverage, feeling the warmth spread through her body. It was moments like these that made all the chaos of the day melt away, leaving her with a sense of peace and contentment. And at 5pm, it was always Fern’s time to unwind and just be.
