There is an art to leaving rooms before you are asked to go. Joy Anderson has perfected it. Her engineering husband has built the architecture of her remaining. Their marriage has become a masterwork of mutual protection...until it isn't.

Joy takes her levodopa late. Not because she forgets - because every pill is an admission, and some mornings she is not ready to make it. Paul has a system for everything: the medicine cabinet, the spice rack, the spreadsheet he built on a Saturday morning with columns for every contingency except the one that is actually coming. They have been married long enough to call this love.

Then Paul comes home with news that no spreadsheet can hold.

Roff writes about Parkinson's disease the way it is actually lived - in the double knot tied without comment, the coffee cup gripped with both hands, the morning that takes longer than it used to. Spilled Coffee finds its drama in the daily, unglamorous negotiations of a life being lived - with bitter coffee and a splash of dark humor.
