There was nothing better than the first cup of coffee of the day. For Gibbs there was no single pleasure he enjoyed most. The way the liquid rolled into his mouth with the bitter taste and nutty aftertaste.

It was heaven in a cup.

Which was quickly ruined by Ralph who dropped off some documentation on getting an annullment in Virginia.

"Gee. Thanks, Ralph," Gibbs growled before turning back to his coffee.

Which unfortunately was now tainted by reality. Woe.
