annabelle's list for the inconceivable june johnson:

• five books swapped
• seventy-eight jokes shared
• one contact lost
• six drinks spilled
• six heated debates regarding fiction sparked (unresolved)
• one allergic reaction survived
• two reckless "i love you"s shouted
• one hundred and three cups of tea savored

June believes in things like fate and zodiacs. Annabelle does not. Annabelle does, however, believe in the power of a perfect cup of tea. (There is, by the way, such a thing as a perfect cup of tea. Annabelle should know. It's her speciality.)

Tea can be so perfect that it soothes your worries and physical ailments, but it can also bring people together. This includes two young women who both believed they'd never fall in love. Until they met each other.

author's note: hi there, people of wattpad. it's been...a long, long time since i've used this platform with any regularity. i haven't had the spark i used to have for writing in a really long time. but i'm trying to churn something out. i miss writing. please do be aware that this story is a rough draft. the title, the plot, everything is a first go. so it definitely won't be perfect. but i hope you enjoy it anyway ♥️
