Briar picked up the cup of tea, breathed in the soothing aroma and slowly brought it to her lips. "Oh, fuck!" she cursed. Once again, she had managed to burn her tongue. Holy fucking, shit that stung. Why did she never learn her lesson? No doubt the pain would continue to plague her till the end of the week as a cruel reminder that hot drinks did not agree with her. "Why the hell am I even drinking tea?" she wondered aloud. "I don't even like tea!"
Briar poured the tea away. She made herself a hot chocolate instead... The hot chocolate also burned her tongue.
