I couldn’t care much less about fancy espresso, however what I do like about having the brand new cafe open on the mountain is the curvy little factor brewing it.

The primary time I set eyes on April Holloway, she seems to be like she may use a month of excellent meals and a great evening’s sleep.

I inform myself I’m simply attempting to assist her out– make sure that her enterprise takes maintain right here in a small mountain city the place bearded males in flannel can’t inform the distinction between gentle and darkish espresso roasts and don’t care.

Or possibly it’s the haunted look about her that I do know all too nicely that has me losing six {dollars} on a cup of espresso each morning.

All I do know is that she stirs up one thing inside me that I by no means thought I’d get for myself and now I’ll do something to maintain it. Regardless of how arduous April pushes me away, I’ll preserve pulling her again.

As a result of now I do know what it feels prefer to wish to be alive.

April’s preventing demons even darker than my very own and I’ll slay each certainly one of them to assert my lady.
