I walk up, and my eyes are immediately drawn to the pastel pink and yellow awning with matching tables and chairs outside. Across the top reads Heart’s Coffeehouse and Bakery: Coffee And Treats Made From The Heart. There’s a line curving around the corner, and as the door opens and closes, I catch a whiff of the addictive aroma of espresso mixed with something…sweet.
The tables and booths are occupied by people drinking coffee, eating sweets, and conversing. When I step up to the counter, an assortment of pastries, muffins, and cupcakes line the inside of the display—all of them looking freshly baked and mouthwatering.
When I glance up, bright-blue eyes meet mine, accompanied by a soft smile. “Good morning, what can I get you?” When I hear her melodic and mesmerizing voice, I forget where I am and what I’m doing for a second.
“Umm,” I choke out, mentally shaking myself out of the trance this woman—from her voice and smile alone—has put me in.
You’re here for a reason, I remind myself. “Are you the owner?”
Her smile widens, and two dimples make an appearance. If I thought she was beautiful before, I was wrong. The woman is downright gorgeous.
“That would be me,” she says. “I’m Aubree Heart. How can I help you?”
I open my mouth to tell her I have business to discuss with her, but the words won’t come out. I’m too enraptured by her looks, by her smile, and by those goddamn dimples. It’s like some weird spell has been cast over me.
