John originally enjoyed his coffee milky and heavily sweetened with three sugars. He insisted that he needed at least one vice to keep himself interesting, jokingly contrasting his choice with more harmful habits.

Subtle Changes

Despite his previous firm attachment to his sugary drink, John finds himself drinking his coffee black just months into his marriage, a transition that occurred without a conscious decision.

He used to drink his coffee milky with three sugars. Back when John meant guy next door and like the rifle was still vaguely amusing. Mary had grinned, saying, If you’re trying to impress me drink it straight. He told her he needed one vice to make himself interesting and since he didn’t smoke it would have to be caffeine and sugar. Besides, he liked his coffee this way, smooth, strong and sweet. Mary laughed outright then and slapped his arm.

A few months after the wedding he is taking his coffee black although he’d never made that decision.
