@drarrymicrofic says today’s prompt is simple, I say it’s also extra cheesy *grins*. Here is 150 words of established tooth-rotting fluff. Thank you @crazybutgood for being a Comma Guru! 🤍
The perfect teacup in six simple steps:
Step one: boil the water (the deep bubbling sound calls you to the kitchen without fail, no matter where in the house you are)
Step two: warm the teapot (just like my mother taught me; you watch, chin hooked on my shoulder, your arms warm around my waist)
Step three: add the tea leaves (from that little shop on the corner you showed me last spring; I haven’t been to another place since)
Step four: steep the tea (like sinking into a hot bath, you say while we wait, it´s so silly, I can’t keep the smile off my face)
Step five: strain the tea (while you get the teacups in this choreographed dance we’ve practiced a thousand times)
Step six: pour and enjoy (a dash of milk for you, a lemon slice for me, deep exhale, a moment steeped to perfection)
