Maria sat, trailing her fingers idly around the rim of the teacup, as she stared blankly ahead. The murky city air did nothing to clear her spinning her, neither did the coffee that had now gone cold.

Maria quickly wiped the tears from her face, somewhat feeling embarrassed at the fact that someone had caught her crying.
She finally looked up, and squinted, the sun hitting her eyes harshly. A silhouette of a man was the only thing she saw before she brought her head down again.
