Not her cup of tea

It rained.
But it wasn't a wash out.
Among those who came was a couple who brought their two dogs. She took them into the conservatory while he ordered.
He asked for coffees - an americano for him and a latte for her. Soup for him. And then two leek, mushroom and gruyere quiches. One for each of them. Very straightforward.
He left the counter and went to join her.
But only briefly because soon she was at the counter:
"My husband ordered me a latte," she said, " but I'd like tea.  And he ordered me quiche and I don't want that". She scanned the menu and chose a bacon, Brie and cranberry panini.
