A cafe, a pig, and a perfectly timed meeting.

When Benjamin Nestor wanders into a small Albanian cafe on his final morning abroad, he expects a simple glass of milk—not a snoring pig or a debate over pastries with a pretty baker.

Drita Kapllani set aside her dreams of love years ago when her cousin’s latest grand idea—like so many before it—became her responsibility. Now nearly forty, she’s resigned to a quiet single life where strangers wander in and out of her café.

One unexpected visitor challenges everything she’s settled for, and she wonders if perhaps God still writes love stories . . . even after years of waiting.

A sweet, later-in-life (and international) meet-cute about God’s timing. This sweet novelette is available for free for my newsletter subscribers ❤️
