Many thanks as always to Rochelle for Friday Fictioneers. And, my story’s here long before an hour before the party ends! 🙂
Brand New Day
Every morning I’d come here for the pecan pie muffins, always exclaiming, “These are better than the pie!” After the divorce, Ray won the coffee shop. And, the barista.
Rumors say she quit for wedding planning.
I slip in for a muffin.
“Maddy, long time,” Ewan says, emerging from his office.
I wave.
“I’ve missed you. You were the bright part of my day.”
“Only because I bought my weight in muffins every week. Kept your business running.”
How had I not noticed his smile?
“You’ll come back?” he asks. “For the muffins.”
“Definitely.” I grin. “For the muffins.”

And pecan pie muffins are a real and very beautiful thing. I use this recipe, but only with 1 stick of butter. 😉
Downloaded the recipe it looks like a winner and delicious. Thank you for sharing. Loved the story too.
Thanks, Phyllis. The recipe is very good, but I’ve never made it with all of the butter. 1 stick seemed enough.
Ill keep that in mind. thank you.
Haven’t been keeping up. Arms in a sling so difficult at best, but a big hello. Until we meet again.
Thanks for dropping by, Phyllis! Take care of yourself!
I’m tring. You too ok?
Yes, except I’m not exactly keeping on tops of things at the moment . . . but I guess that’s life. 🙂 (Or maybe just my life.)
Lol. Yes indeed. Life is messy, busy, fun, but I think about that and the alternative, roflmao and well, hey, I’ll take it.
Agreed!
Yeah. For the muffins. Right
lol Yes, truly! 😉
YUM!!! Thank you for sharing the recipe… definitely coming back for the “muffins” 😉
I love the romance in the air. There is life after divorce.
Both the story and muffins are fun. I love a happy ending (and a good muffin).
Yep, she wants his muffins alright!
lol Exactly! Thank you for reading!
A winning smile, her favourite muffins – Who wouldn’t go weak in the knees for such a man? Great story and thanks for the muffin recipe. Yum.
For the muffins.. And you comes up with those silly rumors anyway?
Seems like she is ready to move on after the divorce… Nicely done Sascha 🙂
Muffins and more I suspect! Nice one.
for the muffins? really? but of course! 🙂
Great love story, Sascha and the muffins look yummy 🙂
This has such a warm feeling. I’m glad there’s a happy ending waiting.
I’m not too familiar with English/American cuisine terms and couldn’t find a pecan muffins recipe there.
Dear Sascha,
Muffins are a nice jumping off point. And a side of coffee and romance. Lovely.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you, Rochelle. We’re trying to be upbeat for a change.
Nothing like a good smile.
As I was finishing my browsing of the comments here I thought, “The first sentence was enough. Food wins every time.” I loved the story and was hoping it could be a moving-on saga of a better future. Well done, Sascha.
