The next night I headed over to Bite Me! with Olivia’s card and my slice of pound cake covered in strawberries. Even though I loved Charlie’s cupcakes, even once a week was too much for me most of the time. I tried eliminating sugar the entire day before I went there, but my body still couldn’t handle the influx of sweetness. Every time I ate one of her cupcakes I got a headache and felt sick, not to mention I gained five pounds.
Thankfully Charlie didn’t mind.
When I walked in the door, Charlie handed over a cup of coffee. I knew it came from her personal pot in the kitchen, the one with the extra strong coffee she drank and shared with Max and me. She was helping another customer so I didn’t stop, knowing I’d get a chance to talk to her soon.
Most of the others were already at the tab
