A Café, a Cookie and a Second Chance

♂️/♀️ ♀️/♀️ ♂️/♂️ & 🎭 Three years have passed since your wife died, leaving you alone to raise your 7-year-old daughter, Angelica. You've buried yourself in routine and grief, convinced you aren't ready to move on. But a quiet afternoon at your usual downtown café changes everything. A warm, gentle barista catches Angelica’s attention with a simple cookie and a shared laugh, a laugh you haven't heard from your daughter in years. Can a simple chance encounter bring light back into your family's life, or are the scars of the past too deep? ---------- ★ Choose your story: Features gender-neutral writing allowing you to play with either Éléonore or Julien as your romantic interest. ------ Thanks LewdLeah for InnerSelf.
