♡ Shane ♡ “You can do this,” I whispered to myself as I walked up to Bean & Leaf. Jessica had texted me and asked me to meet her for coffee and I had no idea what was about to happen. This could go either way and after our conversation the other night, I was – admittedly – worried that Jessica was going to end things before they had even started. I took a deep breath and stepped inside, and the scent of roasted coffee beans surrounded me. The place was pretty busy, with a few people typing away on their laptops, some catching up with friends, and others just soaking up the warmth of the midwinter afternoon. My eyes scanned the room until I spotted Jessica tucked into a corner booth. She was doing something on her phone while she absentmindedly devoured the muffin she had in front of her.
