This is so beautiful!

"I think about that a lot now. How our lives began to fork, quietly. Rivers fed by the same spring, but splitting in opposing directions. You only drank black coffee. I drowned mine in milk and syrup, pretending I liked the bitterness, because you did."

This is such a potent line! You're doing such great work!

this was so lovely and reminded me of my own sister. my sister never drank coffee while growing up, now she adds 4 sugar packets while i add one and scold her about her sugar intake (she's a doctor). she hates almond milk, i can't drink cows milk. but we still drink coffee together when we visit each other. separate yet together always
