Two mismatching shoes

Jeremy stared at the slow drip from his espresso machine. The steam curled into the air from his clementine colored mug. Does caffeine induced anxiety balance out loneliness? 

He tapped his foot, matching the rhythm of the last drops.
Abruptly, he stood, grabbing his keys and pulling on two mismatching shoes as he flung open the front door. 

“Where are we going?” he thought to himself.

But before he could share a self-explaining answer, the fresh, warm summer air nestled over every pore, as he allowed his change in scenery to inspire the beginnings of his change in perspective.
