In Love With My Bully
Nicola Taylor
As I stood in line at my favorite café, the familiar scent of freshly brewed coffee and pastries enveloped me, providing me with comfort. I was there to pick up my usual—an indulgent caramel macchiato—and the drinks for my family: Cole’s strong, black coffee and Arabella’s sweet strawberry milkshake, a treat she eagerly looked forward as I had talked up this place a lot.
Lydia, the café’s owner, greeted me with her warm, signature smile as she took my order. “It’s so nice to see your family for the first time,” she remarked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and warmth.
