Synopsis
In a cozy, book-lined coffee shop, two lives are about to find their perfect blend. Elara, the pragmatic and reserved owner of The Quiet Bean, finds comfort in the sacred rituals of her craft—the grind of beans, the steam of milk, the quiet order of her grandmother’s legacy. Her world is one of quiet consistency, a fortress built of coffee-scented routines. Maya, a bright and romantic literature student, is a seeker of stories and cozy corners. She drifts into the shop like a new chapter, always with a book in hand, becoming a fixture in the sun-drenched armchair. Their interactions are a simple script of smiles and quiet thank-yous, until a spilled pot of tea and a shared favorite book sparks a connection that slowly brews into something more. A soft, heartfelt GL romance about finding the courage to build a new home in someone else's heart, "The Cornerstone & The Coffee" is a story for anyone who believes in the magic of quiet moments, a good book, and the perfect cup of coffee.
