So much good happening here! My two favorite lines are: “Our mothers had mixed Shelbourne & Mattingly bourbon with honey for everything from teething pain to nighttime coughs.” This reads like a prelude to the building relationship between the two.
And: “Well, it’s so fun that you’re back working at Aunt Leo’s,” she said, her voice bright as artificial sweetener. I love the connection made between the artificialness of the words and the sweetener, such an awesome metaphor!
I am in love with the love story "brewing" here!!!
