Placebo Coffee

She walked into the room, for a given value of the term.


"Coffee."


She said this in such a low, guttural tone, i was slightly taken aback, but I stepped away from the bench, allowing her access to the coffee machine as she poured some instant coffee into her mug, then the water. A few moments later, she finished the mug, and sighed.


"Ah, I can feel the caffeine working already."


I chuckled.


"Actually, for the past week, you've been drinking decaf, I swapped them."


She chuckled.


"And for the last week minus one day I've swapped it back, genius."
