Take A Break

Summary: Everyone needs some downtime every now and again, and what better way is there to relax than by taking a break with the one you love?
Author’s Note: Once again I feel like this fic doesn’t necessarily have enough action in it, but it’s got too much dialogue to be a more reflective piece…hopefully I’ll get my balance reconfigured eventually orz either way, I’ve actually had the idea for this fic for awhile, ever since I got an espresso machine in game. I got it pretty early on in my playthrough, and ofc my first thought was “omg I could make Raymond coffee with this :D it’d be so cute!” and thus this piece was born lol. I also threw in some encouragement for myself bcuz I finally unlocked terraforming a few days ago but it’s been…quite an ordeal, and I’m having that whole “island envy” situation where I just feel like everything I do isn’t good enough. This piece is simple but I like it anyway, and I hope you enjoy!
The sound of the espresso machine clicking off snapped Nova out of her reverie. She was leaning against the counter with her arms crossed, facing the contraption as it worked its alleged magic before her. She’d let her mind wander, thoughts idly straying this way and that as she waited for it to finish preparing the steaming beverage. She usually didn’t have a lot to think about, but with all the recent island renovations and upgrades, she’d had her hands full planning and placing and rearranging things. The smell of it wafted through the air, filling the kitchen with its heavenly, mouth watering aroma; but she knew that the taste didn’t quite fit its misleading and magnificent scent. If it could soak into the walls, she would have been grateful…she supposed getting a candle was probably the next best thing.
