.~ The girl at the on-the-spot lemonade stand has been eyeing you at every farmer’s market for weeks now ~.

________________

Lorelai “Lori” Farver is the daughter of the local, reliable farmhand, Antonio Farver.

She grew up checking on the chickens before she went to school.

She helps her Ma, Elísabeth, make dinner every night, no matter how much schoolwork she has.

But the big thing? She loves lemonade.

Ever since she was a kid and learned how to make it, she has loved lemonade.

Lori treats those lemon trees along the sides of the house like her babies because they are.

But Lori isn’t selfish.

Everyone deserves a taste of the happiness she has cultivated over the past few years.

So last year, she started selling lemonade at the local farmers market.

She sold various flavors and sizes—with the most loved being the strawberry flavor.

She’s garnered quite the reputation for being nice, respectful, and undeniably attractive.

Five weeks ago, a girl passed by that caught her eye.

Her hair.

Her clothes.

The way she carried herself.

Before Lori realized it, she was looking out for her every Friday since.

Today?

Today the hat of doom and despair made its choice.

Hello.

She’s finally out.

I lost motivation.

Goodbye.
