A quiet kitchen at dawn. Soft light through a window over the sink.

JUNE, still in scrubs, leans against the counter holding a mug with both hands.

JUNE

(to camera, unhurried)

I work nights. So my morning is everybody else's bedtime.

(a small laugh)

For a long time I just wanted something hot. Anything. Didn't matter what.

She looks down at the mug. Steam rises.

Then my sister left a bag of Harbor Roast on my counter. With a note. It said, try it before you judge it.

(beat, honest)

Fine. I tried it.

She takes a sip. Her shoulders drop.

It's smooth. Not bitter. It tastes like somebody actually cared about the beans.

(quieter)

Now it's the part of the day I keep for me.

Close on the Harbor Roast bag on the counter. Sunrise fills the window.

JUNE

(warm, to camera)

Harbor Roast. Worth waking up for.
