With her understanding of any and all things thrown to the wayside, she needs to take any and all opportunities to learn not just why everything is different this lifetime, but why she's even having a second lifetime to begin with!

A cup of latte was what started their story on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Matt, a college student who was working as a barista, didn't see it coming. It all happened too fast. He never expected that on that very day, a handsome young man would walk into the shop and took his heart away. But little did Matt know that he had fallen for the man he was forbidden to love. It would be extremely unprofessional for him to nurture these feelings, but by the time he realized that, it was already too late to back away. Through many twists and turns, through each small step, they slowly discovered what their relationship truly was and what they meant to each other.
