It was snowing, and by the time Gibbs made it inside, he was cold – very cold. He wasn't sure how, but he felt a cup of something warm put into his hands. He managed to identify the liquid as coffee. It smelled good, and the warmth that spread into his hands was a blessing after the cold, though he would never admit it. He took a sip, and had to resist spitting it out. He had never had coffee before, and was surprised at how bitter it was. He thought that some sweetener or cream would make it better, but none of the other marines were putting either sweetener or creamer in their coffee. Still, he took another sip. It didn't taste quite so bitter the second time, and he could appreciate the caffeine jolt. Maybe he could get used to coffee after all.
