Chocolate Éclair

I wrote this story a little over four years ago and it’s been kicking around since then going from place to place trying not to make too big a nuisance of itself. It was actually slated to appear in a couple of publications previously, but both those shops shuttered their doors before it ever got the chance.

I’m glad that it’s finally found a home and can stop wandering. It’s been such a long time since I read it that I’m honestly not sure how well I even remember what happens, which feels a bit strange, like seeing an old friend in a crowd after years spent apart.

I hope we recognize each other when we meet again.
