This is beautiful, Paige. I laughed out loud in a sigh of relief at, "Now pull the spoon out and lick the melted Nutella off,” she instructed, grinning with tired eyes.

I had missed this comment, Ruth! Thank you for reading. I hope you'll make a "homemade mocha" one day... they really are the best!

I love this! It feels so real; how someone would hold on if they lost their first love.
