Nasir ordered a cafe mocha and slipped a good tip into the cashier's jar when she wasn't looking. Chocolate and coffee appealed to him. That and he liked sweets. When they got their drinks, he put a good dollop of honey into his.
"Honey is one of my favorite things," he said in Arabic, stirring it into the hot liquid. He also liked that they put it real cups that looked like they were hand made and beautiful instead of those paper cups.
They found a table near the window that had two ancient stuffed chairs next to it. He took a sip of his mocha and sighed in contentment. "It's one of the few things I remember from when I was a child in Damascus. For a treat my mother would give us honeycomb."
