You’re halfway to the door when I catch you. A flash of wildflowers and citrus, the weight of pear and white peach hanging in the air like a dare. You glance at the clock. You’ve got time for one sip.
The acidity snaps—sharp enough to make you pause, soft enough to make you smile. There’s a faint grip on the finish, like fingers on your belt loop, pulling you just close enough for another.
You should leave. Instead, you pour again, watching the haze settle in the glass like it knows exactly what it’s doing. Somewhere, someone’s waiting. You’re not moving.
Pair with soft cheese, salted almonds, or the lie you’ll tell when you finally show up flushed and late.
